Meal Prep Guide
Prepare the mini burger patties (store in an airtight container in the fridge)
Ingredients
- 600g beef mince
- 1 egg (whisked)
- ⅓ cup breadcrumbs
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp mixed dried herbs
- Salt and pepper
Method
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl combine the mince, breadcrumbs, herbs, salt and pepper. Mix well (we find it best to do this with our hands), add the lightly beaten egg and continue to mix. Once the mixture has combined roll into meatballs just bigger than a golf ball size and then flatten slightly to create mini patties. Pop into an airtight container.
Make the miso and tahini sauce (store in an airtight container in the fridge, and bring to room temperature before serving)
Ingredients
- 4 Tbsp hulled tahini
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 Tbsp miso paste
- 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 small garlic clove (crushed)
- 2 Tbsp water to thin out
Method
- Add all of the ingredients to a small bowl and whisk well to combine.
Make the caramelised onions (store in an airtight container in the fridge, and reheat before serving)
Ingredients
- 2 brown onions (sliced)
- Salt and pepper
- Butter
- Olive oil
Method
- Add a generous knob of butter to a medium fry pan over a low heat. Once melted add the sliced onions and season with salt and pepper. Allow to cook for 15 minutes or until golden brown and caramelised, stirring occasionally.
- Let cool completely before popping them in an airtight container in the fridge.
Tips
- If you’ve been cooking with us for a while you’ll know that we love using tahini in dressings and sauces. We use the ceres brand which is super runny so if you’re using a different tahini you might need to add a little more water to thin out the sauce.
- Don’t be discouraged by the lengthy ingredient list, there are a few elements to this dish, but they are all straightforward
Shortcuts
Vegetables
- You can use any lettuce you’d like.
- Add some fresh herbs or micro greens.
- Add some sliced cherry tomatoes.
Protein
- For a vegetarian option swap out the beef patties for our Vegetarian Sweet Potato and Black Bean Burger Patties but make them into mini patties.
Other
- Turn this meal into burgers. Instead of making mini patties, make the mixture into four large patties.
Ingredients
Sweet potato fries
- 3-4 medium sweet potatoes
- Salt and pepper
- Olive oil
Mini beef patties
- 600g beef mince
- 1 egg (whisked)
- ⅓ cup breadcrumbs
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper
Caramelised onions
- 2 brown onions (sliced)
- Salt and pepper
- Butter
- Olive oil
Miso and tahini sauce
- 4 Tbsp tahini
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 Tbsp miso paste
- 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 small garlic clove (crushed)
- 1-2 Tbsp water (to thin out)
Salad
- 120g baby cos (1 bag)
- ½ cucumber (sliced into half moons)
- 4-6 gherkins (sliced)
- 1 avocado (sliced)
- 100g feta (crumbled)
- Sauerkraut (optional)
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees fan bake.
- While the oven is coming to temperature, get started on the caramelised onions. Add a generous knob of butter to a medium fry pan over low heat. Once melted, add the sliced onions and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 15 minutes or until golden brown and caramelised, stirring occasionally.
- Add the sweet potato chips to a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; pop in the oven to cook for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mince, egg, breadcrumbs, herbs, salt and pepper. Mix well (we find it best to do this with our hands). Once the mixture has combined, roll into meatballs just bigger than a golf ball size, then flatten slightly to create mini patties.
- Once you’ve made all of the mini patties, heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through in the centre.
- While the patties are cooking prepare the miso, and tahini sauce. Add all the ingredients to a small bowl and whisk well to combine.
- Time to assemble the bowls! Add some lettuce and cucumber to each bowl, nestle in a few patties and top with the caramelised onions, gherkins, feta, sliced avocado and the optional sauerkraut. Drizzle over the miso tahini sauce. Serve alongside the sweet potato fries.
