Rice Burgers

An alternative binding agent to breadcrumbs, cooked rice can really help make your burger mixture go further, with the added benefit of providing an egg- and gluten-free option on your menu.

Makes 6 quarter pounders

Top Tip: Instead of using gluten-free buns, why not serve the burgers “naked?” This increases appeal to healthy eaters!
