Whats in a burger?

Hi there

Sooo I tested a new spiced burger on my husband..seems spice and tonsillitis doesn't mix. But I liked it so Im posting it and hopefully you enjoy :)

Ingredients

Burger buns
Fresh lettuce leaves - cos is always good
Sliced tomato
Mango chutney (see earlier post)

Pattie

1 kg beef mince
1 onion diced
1 egg
2 cloves of garlic diced
1 teaspoon each ginger, turmeric, gram masala, coriander, cumin and smoked paprika
a pinch of chill powder
1 tablespoon sea salt
couple of grinds of black pepper
1 handful of parsley chopped
3-4 leaves of fresh sage chopped
some flour for coating

To save time I cook the onion in a pan and once tender I add the garlic and spices for a minute till aromatic (code for smells yummy and releases all its flavor). I then take off the heat and add the sage and mix thru while still hot. Put aside while sorting other things.

I then slice tomato and make mango chutney or if you don't have that a beetroot chutney on its own is great.

Combine all the pattie ingredients in a bowl and using clean hands mix together. Form into 8 patties which I put in a plate with flour just to coat. Put on their own plate and place in the fridge to chill.

Heat the bbq or a pan to high. If using a pan have the oven on at 160 degrees.

Lightly brush the patties with oil and put on the bbq or pan. Cook till done the way you like (if using a pan you might want to finish in the oven to avoid burning)

Make the burgers up. If your my husband (without tonsillitis) its tomato sauce (ketchup) on the bottom of the bun, pattie, mango chutney, tomato and lettuce. Each to their own. Enjoy xx
