Instructions:
- Prepare the Prawn Patties:
- In a food processor, combine prawns, egg, breadcrumbs, parsley, and garlic. Pulse until mixed but still slightly chunky for texture.
- Form the mixture into patties, coat each patty with beaten egg and breadcrumbs, and set aside.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the patties until golden and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
- Make the Corn and Tomato Salsa:
- In a bowl, mix together corn kernels, diced tomato, red onion, coriander, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Set aside to let the flavours meld.
- Prepare the Coleslaw:
- In another bowl, combine shredded cabbage, grated carrot, mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the vegetables are coated with the dressing.
- Assemble the Burger:
- Toast the burger buns lightly.
- Spread tartare sauce on each side of the bun.
- Place a layer of coleslaw on the bottom bun.
- Top coleslaw with a generous spoonful of corn and tomato salsa.
- Add the patty
- Cover with the top half of the bun.
Tips:
- For a healthier version, you can grill the prawn patties instead of frying.
- Add some heat to the salsa or patties with a bit of chopped jalapeño or a splash of hot sauce.
This Crumbed Prawn Patty Burger combines the crispy, savory patty with the freshness of corn and tomato salsa and the creamy crunch of coleslaw, making for a delightful and filling meal. Enjoy your culinary creation!
