It wouldn't be a healthy BBQ cookbook without a healthier beef burger recipe. I tried to cut down calories without losing on flavour. I used lean mince being aware how important is that higher fat content in a proper burger. To achieve that great result anyway I focused on bold flavours of all of the components. Sweetcorn relish brought that natural sweetness and acidity but as well it help to keep the burger moist.
This huge looking burger with sweet potato fries has 580 Kcal / 89g complex Carbs /34 g protein and 15 g fat (saurated 4 g). Thanks to whole meal flour the whole dish contains 10 g of fiber.
