Ingredients

  • 200g defrosted leftover Quorn Chilli
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 3-5 slices wholemeal bread made into breadcrumbs
  • 5tbsp low fat mayonnaise
  • 1-2 tsp gochujang paste (optional) NOT analysed
  • 150g Kimchi (optional) NOT analysed
  • 2 Iceburg Lettuce leaves, shredded
  • 2 medium tomatoes, sliced
  • 1/2 red onion, finely sliced
  • 4 brioche buns (medium sized)

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C/Gas 4.
  2. Place the defrosted chilli into a large bowl, add the beaten egg and stir in some of the breadcrumbs. Keep adding breadcrumbs until the mixture is stiff enough to hold its shape.
  3. Using your hands, shape the mixture into small patties, the same size as the brioche buns.
  4. Place onto a lined baking tray and chill in the fridge for at least half an hour. Bake in the oven for 12 – 15 minutes or until piping hot. Alternatively fry the patties in a non-stick pan with a tbsp of vegetable oil (without testing I’m not sure which method will produce the best results)
  5. Meanwhile, toast the buns. If you want add a bit more of a chilli sweet kick to your mayonaise, mix it with 1-2 tsp of gochujang paste (optional).
  6. Spread the mayonnaise over the toasted buns and top with lettuce and sliced onions.
  7. When the patties are cooked place on top of the lettuce and onion and top each with tomato slices and, if using, a small spoonful of Kimchi.
  8. Replace bun lid and secure with a cocktail stick.

Tips & Tricks

  • Kimchi is a Korean classic made by fermenting vegetables in a spicy sauce. It can include lots of different varieties of vegetables, with cabbage being the most common! You can make your Kimchi at home & there are lots of easy recipes online if you want to give it a go. Kimchi is also readily available in larger supermarkets too.
  • There has been growing evidence that kimchi can also play a role in improving the levels of good bacteria in our gut microbiome!
