The classic chicken burger gets a mouthwatering makeover by bringing Middle-Eastern flavours into the mix. Green curry, onion & ginger chicken patties are pan fried, then dished up next to oven roasted beetroot & carrots, plus a fresh salad. Drizzled with a spiced tahini sauce and finished with toasted seeds.

CAN’T BEET THIS
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the beetroot pieces and carrot wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway).
CURRY MINCE
Place the mince into a bowl and combine with the curry paste (to taste), the diced onion (to taste), the grated garlic, and seasoning. Wet your hands slightly to prevent the mince from sticking to them and shape into 2 patties of about 2cm thick. Set aside until frying.
PUMPED UP FLAVOUR
Place the pumpkin seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
SPICY-SWEET SAUCE & SALAD
In a small bowl, combine the spicy tahini sauce with the grated ginger, a sweetener, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Set aside. In a salad bowl, combine the shredded leaves, the cucumber rounds, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.
GOLDEN ONIONS
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced onion until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Set aside.
PERFECT PATTIES
When the roast veg has about 10 minutes remaining, return the pan to a high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the patties for 2-3 minutes per side until golden. Remove from the heat and allow to rest in the pan for 2-3 minutes before serving.
HEAVENLY HAMBURGER
Dish up the roasted veg alongside the fresh salad. Top with the spiced chicken patties and golden onions. Drizzle over the spiced tahini sauce. Garnish with the toasted seeds.
