Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toss the sweet potato chips with the oil and some seasoning on a baking sheet. Roast for 40-45 mins until golden and crisp.
  2. Mix the mince with the curry paste, half the spring onions, half the coriander and some seasoning. Shape into 4 burgers.
  3. Mix remaining spring onions and coriander with the pineapple, lime juice, red chilli and sweet chilli sauce.
  4. When the chips have 10 mins to go, heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle and cook the burgers for 3-5 mins on each side until golden and cooked through. Serve the burgers in the buns with lettuce leaves and salsa piled on top, the sweet potato chips and extra chilli sauce for dipping.

Make it lighter - lose the buns

If you're looking to cut calories, serve these beef patties on top of a Little Gem lettuce leaf with the sweet potato chips on the side. Alternatively, serve in the bun and lose the chips.

    The flavours of this recipe are excellent. I think that maybe the way it is written, the red curry might overpower the pineapple salsa. Next time i will try it using only 1 tbsp of the red curry.

    Nice burgers, for a leaner more healthy option try using ground turkey or venison.

    I think this recipe works better with pork rather than beef. My burgers ended up a bit soggy - would chop he onion not grate it next time. Other than that it is a good recipe and makes a change from the usual though it was nothing amazing.
