    Ingredients

    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)
    1. Preheat the oven to 200ºC. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
    2. Remove and reserve stems from mushrooms. On the baking tray, place mushrooms, top side down.
    3. 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.
    4. Top each burger with lettuce, a slice of capsicum and gherkin and halved tomato. A toothpick will keep everything from sliding off.

    Variations

    Make it gluten free: Check pizza paste (or other sauces) are gluten free.

    Make egg free: You can either use an egg replacer or just leave out

    HFG tip

    Instead of pizza paste, you can use 1 tablespoon tomato sauce, 1 teaspoon Worcester sauce or 1 teaspoon soy sauce.

    Lamb mince works well too.

    If you prefer capsicum cooked, put squares on the baking tray and bake at the same time as the mince.

    Add a slice of cheese on top of the lettuce to transform them into cheeseburgers.

    Add a chunk of canned pineapple to make Hawai’ian burgers.
