Ingredients

  • 500 g chicken mince
  • 4 tbsp salsa verde

For the Salsa Verde:

  • 1 bunch of parsley
  • 4 tbsp capers
  • juice 1/2 lemon
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 75 ml olive oil
  • salt

For the Slaw:

  • 1 sweetheart cabbage
  • 1 large head raw beetroot
  • 100 g Greek yoghurt
  • 1/2 lemon juiced
  • salt

Instructions

  • Start by making the salsa verde. Finely chop the parsley and capers. Then, mince the garlic and mix together in a pestle and mortar with the lemon juice, a pinch of salt and olive oil until combined. Alternatively, pulse everything together in a blender.
  • Add the chicken mince to a bowl along with 4 tbsp of the salsa verde. Squish everything together with your hands until well combined and divide into four patty shapes. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
  • Preheat a nonstick frying pan with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the patties to the pan and fry on each side until golden and cooked through. This should take around 8-10 minutes.
  • For the slaw use a mandolin to finely grate the cabbage. Peel the beetroot and slice with the mandolin, then place each piece on top of each other and slice into thin straw shaped strips.
  • Add top a bowl with the Greek yoghurt, a good pinch of salt, a squeeze of lemon and stir well.

Notes

Turkey mince can sometimes be easier to find than chicken mince -- if this is the case, try to choose thigh mince instead of breast for a better flavour.
