Slimming World Burger and chips recipe

Here is a recipe I got off the Slimming World website earlier which I made for tea for the family and it went down a treat! The best thing is, it is totally guilt free and perfect if you are on the slimming World food optimising plan.

This recipe is-
Syn Free on Extra Easy
Syn Free on Original
4 Syns on Green



What you need:

For the burgers:-
- Lean mince, less than 5% fat ( I used two packets of mince and have about 8 burgers left after feeding 5 people. I'm freezing the leftovers to use at a later date.)
- Parsley
- Barbeque seasoning (it comes in little jars next to the oregano and herbs in shops)
- A wholemeal bread bun (add 6 syns if it is not your healthy extra).

For the relish:-
- A tomato
- A pepper
- Barbeque seasoning
- Chives

For the chips:-
- About half a bag of maris piper potatoes
- Frylight

1) Firstly preheat your oven to about 240 degrees celcius. Also put a pan of water on the boil.
2) Peel your potatoes and cut into chips. I only used about half a bag for four people.
3) Put the chips in the boiling water and leave for about 5 minutes but just make the judgement of when they're ready. You just want them to be soft but not too soft.
4) While your chips are par boiling, mix the mince with the chopped parsley and a bit of the barbeque seasoning. Just use your hands and combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl.
5) Take about a palm-full of the mixture and flatten it into a round patty. Do this with all the mixture.
6) Drain your chips and place on a plate on some kitchen roll so they dry.
7) Take a baking tray and spray it with frylight and scatter the chips on it. Spray them with frylight then chuck it in the oven until they're golden and crispy.
8) For the relish, cut the tomato until all the juices are out and it resembles a kind of salsa. Put this in a bowl with some chopped chives and a sprinkle of barbeque seasoning and mix it.
9) When the chips are nearly ready, heat up a frying pan with some frylight and slowly fry your burger.
10) Put your burger in a wholemeal bun with some lettuce, relish and a bit of red onion (or whatever takes your fancy really) and serve with chips.




Hopefully you enjoy this recipe. Sorry if you aren't part of Slimming World and don't really know what I mean when I say 'syns' and other jargon. This is the original recipe which is slightly different to mine- http://www.slimmingworld.com/recipes/bacon-burger-with-bbq-relish.aspx. Obviously the recipe isn't very specific with measurements but I think part of the fun with cooking is just using a bit of trial and error and changing things to suit you. Enjoy, and thanks for reading!
