How to build a better burger
Skip the takeaway trap by cooking up some ‘fakeaways’ at home. Lighter, yet loaded with flavour, it’s high on taste and low on next-day-regret … Let us show you how to build better burgers.
Look at burger building blocks and see where you can upgrade to lighter foods:
- Buns: opt for seeded brown buns or, if you’re avoiding gluten, try our gluten free rolls.
- Juicy patty: instead of grilled beef, try lean ostrich.
- Sauce: consider lighter sauces like plain yoghurt or reduced-oil mayo.
- Crunch: think bigger than the normal lettuce and tomato – top your burgers with the Woolworths herb salad, with spiralised beets and carrots.
- For an extra pop of flavour: add a dollop of fresh basil pesto for extra zing.
- Serve the open bun toasted, with a side of fresh cut sweet potato chips, baked in the oven until golden. Nice!
