Foodie on a budget - Mini chicken burgers


One of the keys to saving is planning ahead and making dishes that share some of the same ingredients, especially ingredients that you can save on when buying in bulk, or those that you won't use up in one dish. These little burgers were quite a delight! Eat them hot and you'll be amazed at how delicious they are without any sauce. The juicy patties and mix of flavours and textures make them a real treat.




Ingredients
Makes 10 (approx Kr 40)

400g Chicken mince
1 Red Chilli (chopped)
1 tbsp Extra Virgo olive oil
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
Rocket
3 Tomatoes
1/2 Red onion
Mini baguettes
  • Preheat the oven as instructed for the mini baguettes if frozen, or to 125C to heat until crisp.
  • In a big bowl mix the mince, chilli, olive oil, and salt.
  • Slice the tomatoes and onion, and wash the rocket. Set aside. 
  • Use two spoons or your hands to roll the patties into an oval shape, then flatten with a fork and fry them in a little olive oil on medium heat.
  • Get another bowl ready for the patties, and a plate to cover to keep them warm.
  • If using fresh mini baguettes, put them in the oven just before frying your last batch of patties. If using frozen mini baguettes, follow the instructions on the packaging.
  • When the patties are fried, slice the baguettes open and plate up with a patty, one or two slices of tomato, some red onion and rocket leaves to top it off.
Enjoy!
