Slimming World's Burger and Chips

Ingredients:

• For the chips:
• 4 large baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1cm/½in chips
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Low-calorie cooking spray
• For the salsa:
• 3 ripe plum tomatoes, finely chopped
• 1 garlic clove, peeled and finely chopped
• ½ small onion, peeled and finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon artificial sweetener
• 57 milliliters water
• 1-2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1-2 drops Tabasco sauce
• For the burgers:
• 794 grams extra lean minced beef
• 8 tablespoons very finely chopped shallots
• 4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 4 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
• 4 wholemeal roll
• To serve:
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 4 slices tomato
• Grated carrot
• Shredded red cabbage

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 240ºC/gas 9. Place the chips in a pan of lightly salted boiling water for 3-4 mins. Drain well on kitchen paper and leave to dry for about 10 mins. Return the chips to the dry pan, cover with a lid and shake to ‘rough-up’ the edges of the chips. Transfer to a non-stick roasting tin, spray with low-calorie cooking spray and bake for 20-25 mins, turning occasionally. Meanwhile place all the salsa ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook gently for 4-5 mins. Remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature. To make the burgers: Place the minced beef, shallots, Worcestershire sauce and garlic in a bowl and, using your hands, combine thoroughly. Season well, divide into four and shape into flat burgers. Spray the burgers with low-calorie cooking spray, place under a hot grill and cook for 5-6 mins on each side or until cooked to your liking. Remove and keep warm. To assemble the burgers: Split the rolls in half and place a lettuce leaf and a tomato slice on top of each base. Top with a burger and some of the salsa, and serve immediately with the chips and some grated carrot and shredded red cabbage.
