I found this recipe tucked away in an old suitcase...last time used on a trip to Sydney, Australia. I remember getting it from a mom and pop restaurant and must have forgotten to unpack it!That was 5 years ago!! But it's resurfaced so I made them yesterday. I lit the BBQ and boy did they taste good! I'm a beetroot fan but if you are not, you can leave the beets out. They just make for an interesting taste!
This recipe will make 4 burgers
Ingredients
500g minced beef
4 slices bacon (chopped very small)
100g cooked beetroot
2 pita breads
50g of rocket (arugula)
4 tbsp sour cream mixed with some chives
Method:
Mix the meat and bacon with 1tsp of salt and some freshly ground pepper ( I use my hand..more effective and more fun!)
Divide into four with and shape into burgers.
Slice the beetroot and split the pita breads.
Toast the pitta bread.
Heat a grill pan or barbecue.
Grill the bread on both sides until lightly toasted and set aside.
Add the burgers to the grill or barbecue and cook for 2-3 minutes, then turn and cook the other side for a further 2-3 minutes.
Set half a toasted pita on each plate and put a pile of rocket on each.
Top with a burger, then a few slices of beetroot and a dollop of sour cream.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
From an Aussie born girl - I have to say "YUM" and very Australian... I think it might be the beetroot that does it!
