Ingredients

6 medium flat (portobello) mushrooms
200g lean beef mince
1 egg
50g sachet pizza paste (we used Gregg’s)
6 squares of capsicum (made by cutting sides off capsicum lengthwise)
6 small lettuce leaves
6 cherry tomatoes
6 slices pickled gherkin

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200ºC. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
Remove and reserve stems from mushrooms. On the baking tray, place mushrooms, top side down.
Chop mushroom stems and, in a bowl, combine them with mince, egg and pizza paste. Fill each mushroom cap with mince mixture and bake for 15 minutes, until mince is brown and cooked through.
Top each burger with lettuce, a slice of capsicum and gherkin and halved tomato. A toothpick will keep everything from sliding off.
