Lettuce wrapped burger


Preparation time: 15-30 minutes recipes

 – Serves 2 

Burgers usually come with highly processed buns containing all sorts of unhealthy additives. Why not swap the bread for some deliciously crispy salad leaves and increase your nutrient and fibre intake?

Combined with homemade garlic mayonnaise it’s a true feast.

Goes well with: sweet potato fries, garlic mayonnaise, roasted veggies, kids, dinner parties


INGREDIENTS

200 g minced meat (any sort)
1 egg
1 small onion
1 large handful fresh parsley
2 tablespoons coconut flour
1 tablespoon mustard
Half teaspoon salt
pepper to tatse
A few large lettuce or salad leaves
1 large tomato
1 large tablespoon coconut oil for frying

  • Finely chop onion and parsley
  • In large bowl, mix minced meat, egg, onions, parsley, mustard, coconut flour, salt and pepper using a fork or your hands
