Burgers lose their buns for a low-carb alternative to a dinnertime favourite. Though the carbs may be reduced, the flavour is out in full force with the help of blended Thai spices.

Preparation
1
Cook the Wedges

  • Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
  • Chop the sweet potato into 2cm wedges (no need to peel).
  • Pop the wedges onto a large (lined) baking tray.
  • Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer.
  • When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 20-30 mins. Turn halfway through. 

TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary, you want the wedges nicely spread out.

2
Form the Burgers

  • Finely chop the coriander (stalks and all).
  • Zest half the lime (double for 4p). Chop into quarters.
  • In a large bowl, mix the lime zest, Thai spice, half the coriander, the breadcrumbs and half the soy sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the mince. Mix until well combined.
  • Roll into evenly-sized balls and flatten to make burgers 1cm thick (one per person). IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw mince.

3
Fry the Burgers

  • Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Once hot, fry the burgers until browned on the outside and cooked through, 10-12 mins. 
  • Carefully turn the burgers every 3-4 mins, lowering the heat if they begin to burn. IMPORTANT: Burgers are cooked when no longer pink in the middle. 

TIP: The burgers will shrink a little during cooking.

4
Make the Dressing

  • While the burgers cook, trim the root tip and green stalks of the fennel. Halve lengthways then thinly slice.
  • Halve the chilli lengthways. Deseed then finely chop half (double for 4p).
  • In a bowl, mix the fennel with the chopped chilli (use less if you don't like spice), remaining soy sauce and remaining coriander.
  • Season to taste with lime juice and sugar. Set aside.

5
Dress the Salad

  • Trim and thinly slice the scallion.
  • Just before serving, toss the salad leaves in a drizzle of oil.
  • Add the chilli and fennel and mix to coat fully.

6
Finish and Serve

  • Share the burgers and sweet potato wedges between plates. 
  • Serve the spicy fennel salad on the side.
  • Sprinkle with the sliced scallion.
  • Serve any remaining lime wedges alongside for squeezing over.
