Serves 5
INGREDIENTS:
- 1kg Chalmar 90/10 mince
- 10 slices of cheese
- 5 large gherkins, thinly sliced
- lettuce
- 1 red onion, sliced into rings
- 5 rolls
- BBQ or hoisin sauce
- mayonnaise
METHOD:
1. Bring the mince to room temperature and place it in a large bowl with a good pinch of salt and pepper.
2. Mix the ingredients together with your hands and shape them into ten evenly sized patties. Aim for patties that are thin and wide rather than small and thick, as the mince tends to contract when cooking.
3. Slice and toast your rolls, and prepare all your condiments before cooking the burgers.
4. Place a non-stick pan over high heat and fry the burgers for approximately 2 minutes per side for medium doneness.
5. When the burgers are almost done, place the cheese slices on top, allowing the cheese to melt.
6. Slather mayonnaise on both sides of the buns, and add either BBQ or hoisin sauce. Construct your burgers with all the toppings and any other additions you like.
7. Serve and enjoy!
