Beef and Feta Burgers

Burgers are a great cheap feed that you can load with sneaky veg.  My burger recipe varies quite wildly by what's in the fridge that needs to be used up, but here is what we had this week:

500g regular beef mince (don't get the low fat stuff, you need a bit of fat to keep the patties moist)
1 carrot, grated
1 small zucchini, grated
2 eschallots, finely sliced
125g feta cheese, crumbled
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 beef stock cube, crumbled or 1 heaped tsp TMX stock paste (optional)
1 teapsoon dried oregano
1 egg
3/4 cup breadcrumbs

To serve:
Bread rollls
Salad leaves
Tomato, sliced
Mayo
Sauces (eg BBQ, tomato)

Simply mix all the patty ingredients together by hand, shape into 6 patties the same size as your bread rolls and fry with a splash of oil or on the BBQ.  As its a minced meat dish, make sure they're cooked through.  I like to toast the bread rolls in the oven or BBQ also.

These patties got put in the oven, post bun toasting, to keep warm for hubby while he was at footy.

This recipe is done without the thermomix, though Thermie blitzes up my end pieces of bread to make up my breadcrumbs which I store in the freezer.
