Serves: 4

Preparation Time: 15 mins

Cooking Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp olive oil
300g cup mushrooms, chopped
400g chicken mince
6 green onions, thinly sliced
2 sticks celery, diced
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup fresh wholegrain breadcrumbs
1/4 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped
6 rashers bacon
1 olive oil cooking spray

Method

Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring often, for 8 minutes or until moisture evaporates. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
Combine the mushrooms, chicken mince, onions, celery, egg, breadcrumbs and parsley in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper, mix well to combine. Shape mixture into 12 patties.
Slice each piece of bacon in half lengthways, to form 24 thin strips of bacon. Place one piece of bacon onto a board and top with a second piece of bacon to form a cross. Top with a pattie and fold bacon to enclose the pattie. Secure with toothpicks.
Heat a barbecue plate or non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Spray the patties with oil and cook in batches for 4 minutes on each side or until just cooked through. Remove toothpicks, and serve.
