Ingredients

  • 500g pack Waitrose Ground Beef, typically 10% fat
  • 1 small red pepper, deseeded and finely chopped
  • 1 small yellow pepper, deseeded and finely chopped
  • 4 salad onions, finely chopped
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 pack Waitrose Picnic Pittas
  • Romaine lettuce leaves
  • Cherry tomatoes
  • Tomato ketchup

Method

  1. Light the barbecue or preheat the grill to high. Place the ground beef in a bowl and stir in the chopped peppers, salad onions and Worcestershire sauce. Season and mix well to combine. Divide the mixture into 8 and shape into small burgers.
  2. Cook the burgers on the barbecue for 10-15 minutes, turning once, or under the grill for 5-7 minutes on each side until the burgers are cooked through and there is no pink meat.
  3. Warm the pittas on the barbecue or under the grill, then make a slit along one side and open up to form a pocket. Stuff with lettuce and chopped cherry tomatoes, then add a burger. Serve straight away, with tomato ketchup.
