Recipe: more then just mince – beef patties

November 12, 2014 by Shari Leave a Comment

When you think of mince, you normally think about beef mince. So I thought that I would take the humble beef mince pattie to the next level in my ‘more then just mince’ blog series with the recipe for these delicious beef patties and a smart little spring/summer salad.

Now, I am thinking that paleo is something that I would be looking into in the new year. But I’m not so much into eliminating food groups from my diet (especially with two growing boys and a fussy husband) so I may call it more ‘clean eating’. I have decided to make these patties and eat them without a bread bun…but you could do so if you wished.
I was inspired by fresh spring/summer flavours of fresh herbs when I created this dish and these patties are full of fresh herbs. Cook them on the BBQ on a hot night and enjoy outside if the mood takes you.
BEEF PATTIES
500 grams of beef mince
100 grams of fresh breadcrumbs
1 lemon
200 grams of persian fetta
1/2 bunch of parsley
1/2 bunch of oregano
1/2 bunch of mint
1 tablespoon of dried chili
1 egg
Combine your mince with the breadcrumbs, juice and zest of one lemon, crumbled fetta, shredded parsley, oregano, mint, dried chili and the egg. Shape into patties and then allow to set in the fridge for 20 minutes prior to cooking on a BBQ or hot frying pan. 
I served mine with my spring/summer salad below.
SPRING/SUMMER SALAD
2 cucumbers
1 baby fennel
2 eschallots
4 tomatoes
a handful of mixed olives
1 tablespoon of honey
2 tablespoons of olive oil
2 tablespoons of malt vinegar
Slice your veggies and layor over a plate. Combines the honey, oil and vinegar and then pour over the salad.

Family meals for my tribe of 6
Get in my belly… I’ve been reading a lot abou Get in my belly…

I’ve been reading a lot about self love of late. I feel like there is so much self sacrifice when you’re a mother, and yet I am starting to realise that I need to love myself first to be a better mum and partner.

So here is to starting with something small for me. These @byronbaycookies are the business!!

However, I still seem to feel that mum guilt. I mean, I think I need to do a little more than just follow @drsophiebrock (@smallbusinessgrowthclub has so many good things to say about Sophie)… am I doing enough? Are they happy? Am I creating good memories for them? Am I giving them good life skills and coping tactics? Am I creating enough one on one time with each of them?

I know I’m a people pleaser, a perfectionist (and some … scrap that… most people I know say I am also an over achiever). How do I flip my thinking to focus more on the positive and not be so critical of myself? As I don’t want to pass on this trait to my kids.

Again @delishdeliveries did the majority of the work in preparing the Bulgogi beef.

Boil the rice. Stir fry the beef. Toss some gem lettuce with black sesame seeds and sushi seasoning. Top it all off with kimchi.

Mine was store bought. @staceyclare_healthcoach have you ever made your own kimchi? Have you got a good recipe?

GoodFoodWeek started in 2008 as a way of sharing recipes with uni friends and family who were spread near and far. It has evolved over the years to contain my ramblings as I’ve searched for a house, planned the perfect veggie patch, stumbled through farmer’s markets with my eye half open (because you need to be there at 6am to get the fresh eggs), had babies, gathered family and friends around a shared table, laughed out loud and enjoyed life to the fullest!
