Healthy Power Burgers

We love this recipe because it “sneaks” vegetables into your burger, which makes it great for your little ones. Feel free to substitute in different veggies—Portobello mushrooms and eggplant make for a hearty burger!

Ingredients:

> 1/4 cup organic veggies such as yellow onion, green onion, zucchini and yellow squash
> chopped 3/4 pound Beyond Organic GreenFed ground beef
> 2 Tablespoons organic parsley, chopped

Directions:
Sauté the vegetables over medium heat until tender, about 8-10 minutes. In a medium bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables with the ground beef and parsley. Work the mixture with your hands until well combined. Form into four patties and grill until done—when no pink remains and the juices are clear.
Serve on sprouted whole grain buns, as an open-face burger on lettuce leaves or between two lettuce leaves Serves 4 Adapted from The Coconut Diet by Cherie Calbom.
