Prawn Burgers - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    500 g prawns (raw peeled deveined and finely chopped)
    100 g Broccolini (1/2 bunch finely chopped or use brocolli flowerettes)
    1/2 red capsicum (bell pepper or yellow finely chopped)
    80 g corn kernels (1/2 cup fresh or frozen)
    4 spring onions (scallions finely chopped)
    1 garlic clove (minced)
    1 teaspoon ginger (2cm piece fresh finely grated)
    1/4 cup coriander (finely chopped)
    4 eggs (50 grams lightly whisked)
    1/2 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground or to taste)
    2 teaspoons olive oil
    4 rolls (bread wholemeal grain large 80 grams split in half through centre)
    45 g salad leaves (mixed 3 cups)
    1 tablespoon sweet chili sauce (or more if you like)
    4 coriander sprigs (to serve)
Preparation
    Put prawns, broccolini, capsicum, corn, spring onion, garlic, ginger, coriander and eggs in a medium bowl and stir well to combine and season with pepper.
    Brush the inside of 4 x 2.5cm high, 8cm wide round metal pastry rings or cutters with a little oil.
    Heat half of the remaining oil in a large non-stick frying pan/skillet on medium-high heat and place rings in the pan.
    Reduce heat to medium and spoon half of prawn mixture between the 4 rings and cook for 4 minutes or until mixture is almost set and golden brown underneath and then turn over burgers and rings and cook for 4 minutes or until set.
    Using a small sharp knife, loosen burgers from rings and remove rings.
    Transfer burgers to a plate and cover with foil and return rings to pan and repeat with remaining oil and prawn mix to make 4 more burgers.
    Divide salad leaves between each roll base and add 2 burgers to each and drizzle with sweet chilli sauce and top with coriander and add roll tops to serve.
    HEALTH TIP - for a lower salt option replace the greeen prawns with 250 grams of boneless white fish fellets, finely chopped (this will reduce the sodium/salt content from 706.1 mg to 541.1 mg.
