Kangaroo Burger with Onion Relish and Smashed Avocado

Kangaroo is one of the leanest red meat options available and a good source of iron and zinc. Add in avocado for a source of monounsaturated fat, and homemade onion relish for a real flavour hit. This recipe is a healthier alternative to the much-enjoyed hamburger, a simple mid-week favourite.

  • Step 1

    In a bowl combine mince with eggs, carrot, zucchini, garlic, oregano and rosemary. Using your hands, shape the mixture into four even patties. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes on each side or until cooked to your liking. Cover with alfoil and set aside.

  • Step 2

    In a saucepan heat oil, add red onion and cook for 5 minutes or until soft. Add balsamic vinegar and brown sugar, simmer until mixture becomes slightly thick. Cover to keep warm and set aside.

  • Step 3

    Remove avocado stone and skin, place in a small bowl. Add lemon juice and mash with a fork. Set aside.

  • Step 4

    Split English muffins and toast lightly under the grill for a few minutes.

  • Step 5

    Assemble burger. Spread avocado mixture evenly across 4 English muffin halves. Place patty on top. Divide onion relish between each burger. Add sliced tomato, rocket and top with remaining English muffin halves.

  • Step 6

    Secure each burger with a skewer and garnish with rocket.
