Ingredients
200g, chicken or turkey mince meat
Fresh – (15g fresh coriander, 1 piece of a small fiery red chilli, 3g, 1/2 clove garlic, 1 stalk of lemongrass, 3g, grated Ginger root) OR add 30g of Thai Gold red or green Curry Paste
10ml, 2 teaspoon soy sauce
Half a lime, juiced
10g, 1 teaspoon coconut fat
Method
In a little blender, blitz the chilli, ginger, garlic, lemon grass (outer wall of lemongrass removed, along with top and tail) coriander with the lime juice. Alternatively if you are in a hurry, use the Thai Gold, red or green curry paste
Add the raw chicken or turkey and all of the ingredients into a bowl and mix well together. Use your hands to shape into 2 burgers. Place in a bowl covered with cling film in the fridge for 20 minutes or overnight allowing ingredients to marinade.
Add the coconut fat to a hot heavy-bottomed frying pan at high heat and add the burgers. Turn quickly to seal in juices on both sides and then reduce the heat to cook the burgers at a medium heat, turning frequently. I allow 10 minutes to esnure they are fully cooked though.
Suggestion: Serve on a bed of grated carrot seasoned with pepper, lemon juice and salt. Add additional salad or stir-fry ingredients to APP.
