Pow Wow Burgers

I am delighted to be teaming up with Gleeson Butchers to show you a deliciously trendy and seasonal recipe – Pow Wow Burgers. As the evenings get a little darker and the weather a little more chilly it is lovely to have a recipe that is modern and delicious but with that nod to comfort and warmth and this recipe is exactly that. We are going to create gently spiced beef patties and cook those really simply and then create a burger using some Indian inspired flavours and ingredients like mango chutney, a creamy and cooling garlic sauce and an onion bhaji.

I love this dish so much, It has the gentle warmth of the mild spice, the beautiful seasonal autumnal colours and most importantly it is a total crowd pleaser for all the family.
