Children's

Preparation time:: 15 minutes
Cooking time:: 15 minutes
Total time:: 30 minutes

Makes:: 8

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

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.
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.
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.

Cook's tips

Make with pork, lamb or turkey mince as an alternative.
