Quorn Fruity Burgers

5 medium carrots (350g/12oz approx) sliced and cooked until soft then drained

1 level tsp yeast extract

50g (2oz) fresh white bread crumbs (2 slices approx)

6 dried apricots finely chopped

50g (2oz) sultanas finely chopped

4 spring onions finely sliced including green part

175g Quorn Mince

1 tsp dried chilli flakes

1 orange, zest only, finely grated

2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped

2 tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped

1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped

1 medium egg, beaten

salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 tbsp vegetable oil for frying

a little flour to dust burgers

Serves 4

Mash the carrots whilst still warm, stir through the yeast extract so that it melts.

Add all the remaining ingredients and mix well.

Form burgers either with your hands or use a suitable sized pastry cutter as a mould. Pack the mixture firmly into the mould and remove carefully. This mixture can 10-12 make burgers depending on size-I like to make four big ones though, and thats what the nutrition is for four servings

Dust the burgers lightly with flour, shallow fry in pre-heated oil for 10-12 minutes on a medium heat, turning halfway for even browning. Drain on kitchen paper. Serve in a bun with crispy lettuce leaves.

Number of Servings: 4
