Don’t worry I haven’t gone off the rails or fallen off the wagon – this isn’t even one of my cheat meals.
This is the burger and chips recipe from my cookbook 30 Days Of Weight Loss that I wanted to share with you.
One of the top reasons people HATE diets is they get BORED they feel like they’re stuck eating the usual salads, meat and veg again and again.
Not with my cookbook though, 90 delicious, easy to make recipes for you to sink your teeth in, including this little cracker.
I think lots of us crave a nice burger and chips from time to time, but in most cases eating them can put a little bit of timber around the middle.
However here is the exception…
Ingredients for Burgers (4 servings)
* 500g extra lean beef mince (or turkey will work fine too)
* 1 onion, chopped finely
* 1 chilli – finely chopped (optional)
* 1 x egg
* Seasoning: Salt and pepper
1. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl, divide it into 4 portions. Knead each portion so it all sticks together nicely, then flatten into a burger shape.
2. Heat some coconut oil in a frying pan and shallow fry for around 4 minutes each side. Or you can grill them. (a bread roll is optional, leave out if you want)
Ingredients for Chips
* 2 large sweet potatoes
* 1/2 tsp chilli powder (optional)
* 1 tsp paprika
* 1 tbs coconut oil, melted
1. Slice up the sweet potatoes in chip size pieces. (Use a sharp knife)
2. Toss all ingredients into large bowl and mix.
3. Then place in a large baking tray in oven at around 220 degrees C for 15 mins.
4. Turn and cook for a further 7-10 mins
Serve your burger and chips alongside a salad.
The sweet potato chips are delicious! However I must say I very rarely make chips because they are a pain in the arse if your in a rush (which I usually am).
Normally I make a couple of QUICK burgers and a large salad and this hits the spot.
This recipe will be HEALTHIER even if you have a bread roll BECAUSE it’s home made and there are no additives or preservatives.
So I hope you give the burger and chips recipe a go and let me know what you think.
