Worcestershire sauce in a large bowl,

Divide the mixture into four and shape into
burgers.
Heat some oil in a large frying-pan and
cook for 2 minutes on each side for rare, 3
minutes for medium-rare and 4 minutes for
well done.
Meanwhile, grill the bacon until crisp. Cut
the ciabatta rolls in half and grill the insides.
Spread the grilled sides with mayonnaise.
Put a slice of tomato on the grilled base
and a burger on top, followed by a handful
of cheese, if using, a bacon rasher, a slice or
two of avocado and some lettuce. Sand-
wich together with the remaining bread
and serve with ketchup and mustard.

Fra"’! Hom#-mad# Burger!
We wanted some recipes for older children and asked local
chefs/mums Fran Warde and Silvana Franco to give us a
couple of their favourites. Perfect to make for the family or
have the older kids jump in.
Burgers are fantastically versatile, so build yours just as you wish, with or without the
suggested garnishes.
Preparation 15 minutesCooking 15 minutesServes 4
Heat the oil in a large pan, add the onion,
garlic, ginger and chilli and cook for 5 min-
utes over a medium heat. Add the
turmeric, curry powder, ground coriander
and cumin and mix well. Add the prawns
and cook for 3 minutes.
Pour in the tomatoes and lime juice, season
and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and
simmer for 5 minutes. Add the chopped
coriander and serve with basmati rice.
Both recipes are from her book Real Food For Families, packed with recipes that should suit all ages and with tips of how to jazz a child friendly meal up for adults.

Serves 4Prepare: 10 minutesCook: 10 minutes
Place the chicken in a food processor and
whizz until finely minced. Add the bacon,
onion and rosemary and pulse once or
twice until well mixed but not too smooth.
Season.
Shape the mixture into four even-sized
cakes. Cook under a medium grill or in a
griddle pan for 5 minutes on each side until
golden brown and cooked through.
Mash together the avocado and mayon-
naise.
Transfer the burgers to a warm plate and
quickly toast the cut-side of the ciabatta
rolls.
Pile the leaves onto the base of each
toasted bun, add few tomatoes slices and
sit a burger on top. Spoon over the avo-
cado mayonnaise and position the lid on
top. Serve swiftly.
TIP
Make this recipe even quicker: swap the
chicken breasts for a 400g pack of chicken
breast chunks and the bacon for a 60g pack
diced pancetta.

1 Heat the butter in a large pan and cook
the onion until softened. Add the lamb and
garlic and sir fry for a few minutes until the
lamb browns.
2 Stir in the rice, curry paste, stock and
coconut milk. Bring to the boil and simmer
very gently for 10 – 12 minutes until the
rice is tender and the liquid has mostly
been absorbed. Stir in the peas, cook for a
minute more.
3 Divide between shallow bowls, scatter
over the coriander and serve with lemon
wedges for squeezing over.
TIP
If serving this to young children, swap the
Thai paste for a milder Indian-style curry
paste such as korma.
