French Burgers with Avocado Sauce
Preparation and cooking time: Time: 20 minutes
Tarragon, parsley and capers give a 'French' flare to these burgers. The Avocado Sauce is a nice switch from ketchup, or other 'red' sauce and works perfectly with the tart capers. The Avocado Sauce is also great as a pasta sauce.
Ingredients:
- 12oz ground beef (mince), 350gr, 12.3oz
- 1 tbs snipped fresh tarragon substitute 1 tsp dried

- 2 tbs capers, 17.2gr, .6oz
- 2 tbs dry bread crumbs, 14gr, .5oz
- 3 tbs white wine, 45gr, 1.5oz
- 1 tsp capers, 3gr, .1oz
Instructions:
