Prawn and Lime Guacamole Burgers

by BBC Good Food

👋 Your ingredients will require defrosting before you start cooking. Pair these Aussie-inspired prawn burgers with punchy pickles – for a shortcut, you can use shop-bought guacamole and chilli mayo.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Tip 2/3rds of the defrosted prawns into a food processor with the cod, half of the coriander, chilli flakes, garlic, ginger and a little salt. Pulse until the mixture comes together, then tip out into a large bowl. Roughly chop the remaining prawns and stir these through the prawn and cod mixture. Form the mixture into four even-sized patties using damp hands. Cover and chill for 1 hr.

Step 2

For the pickles, tip the onions and radishes into a non-metallic bowl with the the juice of 1 lime (if cooking for 4) and a pinch of salt, then set aside to pickle for 30 mins.

Step 3

Meanwhile, make the guacamole. Scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl and gently mash (try to retain some chunkiness) with a fork, then fold in the remaining coriander, remaining lime juice and a large pinch of salt. For the chilli mayo, mix the mayonnaise and hot sauce together. Set both aside until ready to use.

Step 4

Heat the rapeseed oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Dust the burgers in the cornflour (optional), then fry for 5 mins on each side until golden and crisp. Keep warm on a plate. Lightly toast the cut side of the buns in a dry frying pan, then top with the burgers, guacamole, lettuce, pickled onions and chilli mayo.
