Ingredients
- Serves 4 – 6, approx £0.80 per portion
- Preparation time: 15 minutes
- Cooking time: 15 minutes
- 450g lean pork or turkey mince,
- 2 tbsp fresh sage, chopped,
- 1 tsp dried oregano,
- 1 tsp dried thyme,
- zest of half a lemon,
- 1 egg, beaten,
- 4 tbsp olive oil,
- ½ tsp allspice or cinnamon,
- 100mls cold water,
- 2 large Bramley apples,
- salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Directions
1. Mix the pork or turkey mince with the sage, oregano, thyme, lemon zest and season well, then if necessary add a little of the beaten egg to bind together.
2. Mould the mixture into eight patties, about 7cm diameter.
3. Cook the patties in a non-stick frying pan with two tbsp of the olive oil, for 8 - 10 minutes, turning occasionally. Be careful not to let the outsides overcook before the middles are cooked right the way through.
4. Place the other 2 tbsp of oil into a saucepan and heat gently.
5. Add the spice, water and the chopped apples, and cook for 15 minutes until the apples are soft and pulpy and you have a nice thick stew.
6. Finally, season with a little salt and pepper.
7. Serve the patties with the spicy apple stew as a dipping sauce.
