Instructions
1
- 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
- Finely chop the coriander (stalks and all).
- Zest half the lime (double for 4p).
- To a large bowl, add the lime zest, Thai spice and half the coriander.
- Stir in the breadcrumbs and half the soy sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the beef mince. Mix until well combined. Roll into evenly-sized balls and flatten to make burger patties 1cm thick (1 per person). IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat.
3
- Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, fry the beef burgers until browned on the outside and cooked through, 12-14 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
- While the burgers cook, halve the fennel lengthways then thinly slice.
- Halve the lime.
- 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
- Trim and thinly slice the scallion.
- Just before serving, toss the salad leaves in a drizzle of oil.
- Add the fennel and toss to coat fully.
6
- Share the beef burger patties and sweet potato wedges between plates.
- Serve the fennel salad on the side.
- Sprinkle with the sliced scallion.
- Chop any remaining lime into wedges for squeezing over.
