Ingredients
For the Burger:
- 500g Beef Mince
- 1/2 Medium White Onion
- 15g Dijon Mustard
- 40g Tomato Ketchup
- Pinch Salt
For the Slaw:
- 1 Red Onion
- 1 Carrot
- 1/4 Sweetheart or White Cabbage
- 1/4 Red Cabbage
- 50g Mayonnaise, Greek Yoghurt or Crème Fraiche
- Black Pepper
- For the Pickled Red Onion:
- 2 Red Onions
- 100ml Water
- 100ml Cider Vinegar
- 50g Sugar
For the Toppings:
- Mature Cheddar Cheese
- 4 Bacon Rashers
- 2 Tomatoes
- 1 Gem Lettuce
- 4 Brioche Buns
- Mayonnaise
- Ketchup
Method
- Finely dice the white onion and gently sauté in a little oil until softened (5 minutes) and allow to cool. In a bowl mix the mince, mustard, ketchup, cooked onions and salt.
- Form the mix into four even balls and pat down to create the burgers.
- Make the slaw by finely shredding the cabbage, slicing the red onion and grating the carrot. Mix with the mayonnaise and season to taste.
- For the pickled onions bring the water, vinegar and sugar to the boil and dissolve the sugar. Take off the heat and add the sliced red onion. Stir the onion a few times to ensure it is submerged.
- Grill the bacon on a medium heat for approximately 10 minutes or until cooked through.
- While the bacon is grilling, fry the burgers over a medium heat, turning a few times until cooked through. This should be around 8 minutes. They will caramelise quickly as there is ketchup in the mix.
- Once cooked, place the sliced cheddar on each burger and allow to melt. Then, grill the buns.
- Build the burgers with the mayonnaise, lettuce, slaw, bacon, tomatoes, pickled red onion and ketchup.
