Storage Tips:

• Cooked patties: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in a pan over medium heat or in the oven at 160°C (320°F) for 10-15 minutes until warmed through.

• Raw patties: You can form the patties and refrigerate them uncooked for up to 24 hours before cooking, or freeze them for up to 3 months. Place parchment paper between each patty to prevent sticking. Thaw frozen patties in the fridge overnight before cooking.

• Roasted vegetables: Store in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven or eat cold in salads.

Adaptations:

• Use all ground beef (1.3kg total) if beef tartare is hard to find or very expensive – the patties will be slightly less tender but still delicious.

• Include fresh herbs like parsley, dill, or chives directly in the meat mixture.

• Try different vegetables – sweet potatoes, parsnips, beets, or Brussels sprouts all taste amazing.

• Make them spicy by adding chili flakes or fresh chopped jalapeños to the meat mixture.

• Use different meat blends – beef and pork, beef and lamb, or turkey for a lighter option.

• Make mini patties for appetizers or kids' meals.
