Homemade burgers are not only tastier than take away or frozen varieties but they can be healthier too. Don’t be tempted by the lure of the neon signs that highlight all the fast food outlets along your route home. Using extra lean mince and oats to make your own patties, serve with brown bread rolls, roasted red pepper and avocado, these burgers contribute great nutrition without the high quantities of saturated fat and salt found in bought patties. You can grill or braai these patties. Raw patties freeze well so prep in bulk.
Add a side salad for a well balanced meal.
