Enjoy all the juicy, savoury goodness of a traditional burger but swap the bread bun for crisp lettuce leaves!
Amidst growing health consciousness and dietary preferences, the classic burger has undergone various transformations. One of the most refreshing and popular variations to emerge is the lettuce-wrapped burger.
The lettuce-wrapped burger is a culinary crossover that bridges the gap between indulgent comfort food and health-conscious eating. By replacing the bun with leaves of lettuce, the burger becomes a guilt-free pleasure. This simple swap significantly reduces the calorie and carbohydrate content of the dish, making it an appealing option for those on ketogenic, paleo, or gluten-free diets. Recipe compliments of Eskort.
Burgers: In a medium-sized mixing bowl combine pork sausage mince, salt, pepper, garlic, Worcestershire, juice of half the lemon, fresh thyme and Dijon mustard. Stir to combine. Divide into 4 equal parts of approx. 185g and make patties with your hands. Use a bit of water or olive oil to prevent sticking!
Cook Burgers: Preheat a frying pan on medium heat – Place burgers over direct heat for 4-5 minutes per side or until they are golden brown and beginning to char on the outsides. If using cheese, add the cheese when burgers are starting to go a nice golden brown and close the lid to allow the burger to continue cooking and the cheese to melt. Remove from pan and set on a plate. Let the pork patties rest for 5 minutes.
Serve: Peel off lettuce leaves keeping them intact to use as a carrier for your burger filling! Construct your burgers – use your hands to support the lettuce cup. Fill with some slaw followed by the burger and then some sliced tomato followed by a bit more slaw.
