Instructions
1
- Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
- Chop the sweet potato into 2cm wedges (no need to peel).
- Pop the wedges onto a large (lined) baking tray.
- Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer.
- When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 20-30 mins. Turn halfway through.
TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary, you want the wedges nicely spread out.
2
- Finely chop the coriander (stalks and all).
- Zest half the lime (double for 4p). Chop into quarters.
- In a large bowl, mix the lime zest, Thai spice, half the coriander, the breadcrumbs and half the soy sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the mince. Mix until well combined.
- Roll into evenly-sized balls and flatten to make burgers 1cm thick (one per person). IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw mince.
3
- Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, fry the burgers until browned on the outside and cooked through, 10-12 mins.
- Carefully turn the burgers every 3-4 mins, lowering the heat if they begin to burn. IMPORTANT: Burgers are cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
TIP: The burgers will shrink a little during cooking.
4
- While the burgers cook, trim the root tip and green stalks of the fennel. Halve lengthways then thinly slice.
- Halve the chilli lengthways. Deseed then finely chop half (double for 4p).
- In a bowl, mix the fennel with the chopped chilli (use less if you don't like spice), remaining soy sauce and remaining coriander.
- Season to taste with lime juice and sugar. Set aside.
5
- Trim and thinly slice the scallion.
- Just before serving, toss the salad leaves in a drizzle of oil.
- Add the chilli and fennel and mix to coat fully.
6
- Share the burgers and sweet potato wedges between plates.
- Serve the spicy fennel salad on the side.
- Sprinkle with the sliced scallion.
- Serve any remaining lime wedges alongside for squeezing over.
