Enjoy the burgers on a barbeque in the garden or haul them out of the freezer on one of those days when you are rushing to get a meal on the table. They are also great as one of your school lunch recipes - they are substantial and give kids a good dollop of protein mid-way through the day. So, this is definitely one of those easy ground beef recipes which you should have in your repetoire!

Don't be put off by the addition of cumin or coriander to this recipe - these burgers are not hot at all and the spices just add a little interest.

Easy

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 10 minutes

Makes 10 - 12 burgers

Ingredients:

2lb 2oz / 1kg ground lean beef

2 medium onions, VERY finely chopped or grated

2 teaspoons ground paprika

2 teaspoons dried basil

2 teaspoons cumin seed

2 teaspoons ground coriander

2 cloves garlic, crushed

Salt and pepper

Oil for frying

Method:

In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients above, except the oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Shape the mixture into 10 - 12 patties, making sure that they are fairly flat - just under 1 inch in thickness.
Heat the oil. Fry 2 to 3 patties at a time, for about 3 - 4 minutes on each side, depending on how well done you like them.
Serve on hamburger rolls with lots of sliced tomato, onion, cucumber and lettuce.
Freeze the remaining patties in a suitable container, using wax wrap or cling wrap to separate the layers. Remember to label the container!

Here is another tip to simplify your life. Instead of freezing the remaining burgers raw, you can fry them up and freeze them cooked. When you are scrambling for school lunch recipes, it is easy to take out a cooked patty and pop it in a hamburger roll, with tomato, lettuce and cucumber.
