Ingredients

500g (1.1lb) ground Beef (beef mince)
1 small onion
1 carrot
1 zucchini (courgette)
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce *do not add for baby
1 egg, lightly beaten

Frying

1 tablespoon oil

Instructions

Finely grate onion, carrot and zucchini and squeeze as much liquid out as possible (I placed the grated vegetables in a clean cloth to squeeze)
Place all the ingredients into a large mixing bowl and mix until just combined.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and use hands to gently form into patties slightly larger than the size of your buns. (As they will shrink slightly when you cook)
Season with salt and pepper on both sides of each burger (skip this if making for baby / younger child). Place an indent in the centre of each burger using your thumb. (This stops the burger from doming and shrinking).
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet or BBQ over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook for 2 to 4 mins on one side (until the bottom is nicely browned). Flip and cook for a further 2 to 3 mins until cooked through.
To Serve: Spread base of bun with sauce of choice, top with lettuce and veggies of choice (we love tomato, beetroot and onions). Top with lid of bun and serve.

Notes

This recipe make 4 large burgers but you can choose to make mini sliders for younger kids. Just form smaller burgers, slightly larger than your bun.
