Hamburger patties

[auds]

Hamburgers:
Serves 8:

500g beef mince
1 onion
2 cloves garlic
1 soup spoon veggie concentrate
2 tblsp tomato sauce
2 tblsp bbq sauce
2 thick slices bread
2 eggs
1 tsp mixed herbs
1 carrot

Drop garlic onto running blades
Add quartered onion, carrot cut into chunks, bread and eggs
Blitz speed 7 for 6 seconds - scrape down
Add all other ingredients ensuring mince is broken up into pieces.

Mix on reverse speed 3 for 4 minutes - check all is combined (time may differ due to type of mince)

Pan fry with some oil

Edited to add you could probably use a tablespoon of the Veg concentrate - I didnt want to for this test run as I worried it would be too salty but it wasnt - also you could add all sorts of blitzed veggies and hide them from the kids

In the beast this mix comes out a lot wetter than usual and the texture is "slushier"  but cooking carefully in the frypan will still hold together no worries.

JD - I would definitely crumble the mince up to start with auds then it shouldn't take that long to mix with the other ingredients.  I watch through the hole with my torch until things like this just come together.

Do you really mean 4 minutes auds?

I did it for 2 minutes and it wasnt combined properly.  But I hadnt crumbled up the mince first and it was pretty clumped together so basically I did that then I mixed for 2 more minutes.

Maybe with the mince crumbled from the start it might not take so long?  What do you think JD?
