Healthier sausages or burgers for little children
Ingredients
- 500g low fat pork mince
- 50g cornflakes
- 3 or 4 button mushrooms
- 1 egg
- 1 or 2 cloves of garlic
- 2-3 tsp of dried mixed herbs
- 1 tsp of dried dill
Method
- Crush the cornflakes into tiny crumbs. You can do this by putting the cornflakes in a zip-lock bag and crushing them with a rolling pin, by using a pestle and mortar, or by using a blender.
- Finely chop the mushrooms. Put all ingredients together and mix well.
- Divide the mixture into 16 and shape into sausages. Alternatively, shape into burgers by pressing into a cookie cutter with a spoon, or by rolling into a ball and gently squashing with a glass.
- The burgers do not have to be round – try pressing the mixture into star or dinosaur shaped cookie cutters!
- Put under a medium grill and heat, turning occasionally until cooked through and lightly golden.
