  3. Next add the coriander leaves and pulse until finely chopped.
  4. Add the chicken breast and roughly chopped bacon (or pork mince) and process until ground and mince like.
  5. Scrape the contents of the magimix into a bowl, add the grated ginger, fish sauce & black pepper. You can add a small amount of sea salt too if you like but you but with the fish sauce and bacon you probably won’t need it.
  6. Give it all a good mix, then using your hands shape into 4 individual burgers.
  7. Heat a frying pan or griddle pan add the coconut oil and add the burgers cooking until nicely browned on each side.
  8. Then transfer to a baking tray and cook in pre heated oven for 15-20 mins, you must make sure it is cooked the whole way through.
  9. Whilst the burgers are in the oven peel & chop the avocado and place it in a bowl.
  10. Add the juice of the lemon, the chopped coriander & the garlic, mash and mix it together with a fork.
  11. Season with maldon sea salt & black pepper and a drissle of olive oil.
  12. To serve: Place the cooked burger inside an iceburg lettuce leaf, top with a few slices of cucumber & tomato and a dollop of guacamole.
