3 tbsp almonds, roasted and crushed

Who said you had to use our Angus Beef & Beetroot Burgers only in a bun? We love this alternative with all of the goodness popped inside a lettuce cup. Tip: add some chipotle to the lemon mayo for an extra hit!

Method:


Preheat a BBQ or griddled fry pan, take the eggplant and slice into ½ cm circles, season with a touch of salt and drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil. Place eggplant in pan and cook for 4-5 minutes each side. Remove and roughly chop.
 
Using the same pan, lightly oil beef and beetroot patties with remaining oil and place into pan. Cook on either side for 4-5 minutes.

Lime Mayo

Blitz or whisk first 5 ingredients together in a food processor and blitz. Alternatively, blend with a stick blender or whisk in a bowl. Slowly drizzle in vegetable oil while mixing, until mayonnaise reaches a creamy consistency.

To Serve
Take the lettuce and continue to remove the out leaves until you reach the smaller cups towards the center of the lettuce. Collect 4 and set aside.
 
In a medium bowl combine the radish, coriander, eggplant, mixed sprouts, green beans. Dress with half the lime mayo. Place into the lettuce cups, followed by the Angus Beef & Beetroot Burgers. Place onto plate.
 
Garnish with the remaining lime mayo and crushed toasted almonds.
Wondering why we put beetroot in our meatballs? It goes much beyond the taste alone. Learn why in our blog here.

PLEASE NOTE: We sadly have retired the Beef and Beetroot range, however this recipe is equally as tasty if you use our Green Meadows Angus Beef Burgers as an alternative.
