SPICY STEAK BURGERS

Ingredients
500g lean beef mince
1 dstsp sun-dried tomato paste
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp sweet paprika
handful chopped coriander
salt

(Use sparingly, there is already salt in the sun-dried tomato paste)

These are exceedingly juicy and succulent, as well as having a lovely flavour - and so simple to make.

Put the beef mince into a generous size bowl and add all the other ingredients. Mix together lightly with a fork, or cut in with a palette knife until all the aromatics are incorporated throughout the meat. Divide the mix into 4 or 6 portions and form each into a burger shape. Do this lightly with your hands. Equally good barbecued or pan fried until just pink in the middle.

HINTS AND TIPS

Avoid heavy handed pounding with a wooden spoon when mixing; and excessive handling and squeezing when forming into burgers. This will break down the meat and cause it to lose liquid, thus becoming hard and dry when cooked.
