Classic Beef Burger with Tomato Relish

Serves: 2

Ingredients

• 300g Cleaver’s Premium Organic Beef Mince
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
• 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 80g Beerenberg Tomato Chutney
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 Brioche burger buns
• 1 red onion
• 1 truss tomato, cut into thick slices
• 1 Love Beets Baby Beetroot, thinly sliced
• 1 Baby cos lettuce
• QE tasty sliced cheese

Method

1. Finely chop half of the red onion and set aside. Slice the rest of the onion into rings.
2. Combine Cleaver’s Premium Organic Beef Mince, egg, Worcestershire sauce, finely chopped onion and parsley in a medium mixing bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and mix well with your hands. Shape the mince into patties approximately 2cm thick. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
3. In a large fry pan, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the patties to the pan and cook for approximately 6 minutes on each side.
4. To assemble, place the bottom burger bun on a plate and spread a layer of Beerenberg Tomato Chutney. Top with one leaf of baby cos, a slice of truss tomato, 2 slices of baby beetroot, one beef patty, 1 slice of QE cheese and a red onion ring. Top the burger with the top burger bun and serve.

Tips

• To cut onion rings, make sure the onion is peeled first, then hold the onion on a chopping board with the root facing the side. Begin slicing downwards from the opposite end of the root, until you reach the root. Separate the slices into rings.
• Lightly toast the burger buns with a little bit of butter.
• Add the sliced cheese on top of the beef patty during the last 30 seconds of cooking, and cover the pan with a lid. You will end up with a lovely melted cheese on top of your patty.
