Pizza burgers

Ingredients

500 g beef mince

2 tbsp water

2 tsp mixed herbs

2 cloves garlic, crushed

0.33 cup tomato paste

1 medium tomato, cut into 6 slices

1 red capsicum, sliced

1 green capsicum, sliced

1 1/2 cups grated pizza cheese

salad to serve

Preheat oven to 180ºC. Combine the beef mince, water, herbs and garlic. Mix lightly, shape into 6 burgers. Lightly brush or spray the burgers with oil.
Preheat a pan to moderately-high. Add the burgers, lower the heat to moderate and cook for 2-3 minutes each side. Turn them once only.
Place the burgers on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Spread tomato paste on top of each burger, top each with a slice of tomato, then a slice of capsicum, sprinkle each with pizza cheese. Cook in the oven for 10 minutes, or until burgers are cooked through. Serve with salad.

Burgers should always be thoroughly cooked. Burgers should not be served rare or pink. A good guide is to insert a skewer into the thickest part; if it is ready to eat the juices will be clear.
Freeze uncooked burgers in a shallow, rigid container. Defrost overnight in the fridge. Pat rissoles lightly with paper towel brush or spray them with a little oil, and cook from step 2 as directed.
