PREPARATION
Peel and finely chop the onion
Chop the sun dried tomatoes
Cut the rolls in half and lightly toast the cut side
Method
|
Mix all the main ingredients in a bowl. By far the best way to do
this is with your hands. Divide the mixture into four and form
each into a burger shape. Pat them well to prevent them falling
apart when cooked. Ideally, put them in the fridge for an hour
before cooking but this is not essential.
|
Preheat the grill to medium / hot. These burgers are
also great for barbecue cooking.Grill for around 5 to 8 minutes
on each side depending on how well done you like your beef. Turn the grill up to high two minutes before the
beef burgers are cooked, add a slice of cheese topped with a very
light dusting of cayenne pepper onto the burgers. Put them
back under the grill for the remaining two minutes.
|
Mix the tomato ketchup and mustard well, and top
each burger with a teaspoon of the mixture. Finally, top the
burger with a slice of lettuce, and place it in the cut roll. Eat
immediately. Salad or a serving of baked beans are great
accompaniments. |
