Easy Homemade burgers

There are some days when you come home from work really late and you really want to cook something quickly and with as little fuss as possible. This is where these burgers really come in handy. You take a couple from the freezer (no need to defrost), place them on a baking tray (lined with grease proof paper), drizzle a little olive oil on them and bung them in to oven (160C) for aprox.40 minutes and voila you have your dinner (accompanied with rice, cous cous and salad). SO EASY!

INGREDIENTS:  (makes 12 large burgers)

- 1 kilo minced meat (I use pork but you can also use beef if you prefer)
- 1 large grated carrot
- 1 large pepper finely chopped
-  1 1/2 cups of bread crumbs
- 3/4 cup rolled oats (Quaker)
- 1 free range egg
- 4 tablespoons of Lea and Perrin's
- a bunch of finely chopped parsley
- freshly ground pepper and salt to season


STEPS:
Just place all ingredients together in a bowl and mix well. Then make the burger patties and place in a tray lined with greaseproof paper and place in the freezer!

 TIP: Feel free to experiment with the spices that you add to the burgers. Add tikka masala and chilli flakes for a spicy option or cumin and corriander for a Middle Eastern touch!

Enjoy!!
