Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7
Peel your red onion[s] (you'll use the rest later!) and slice half into thin rings
Add the onion rings to a shallow bowl with your red wine vinegar and set aside to pickle – this is your quick-pickled onion
Cut your potatoes (skins on) into chips
Add the chips to a baking tray (or two!) with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a pinch of salt and pepper
Put the tray[s] in the oven for 30 min or until crisp
While the chips are in the oven, peel and grate the remaining onion
Add the grated onion, your panko breadcrumbs and beef mince to a bowl with a generous pinch of salt and pepper
Mix thoroughly until fully combined, then shape into 1 patty per person
Add the patty[ies] to a separate baking tray and put the tray in the oven for 15-20 min or until cooked through (no pink meat!)
While the patty[ies] is cooking, chop your parsley finely, including the stalks
Strip your mint leaves from their stems and chop them roughly, discard the stems
Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic
Chop your red chilli[es] finely
Add the chopped parsley and mint to a pestle & mortar with a pinch of salt and a small splash of cold water
Tip: If you don't have a pestle and mortar, chop everything very finely!
Grind the herbs to a paste, then add your mayo, chopped garlic, chopped chilli (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and 1 tsp per person of the red wine vinegar from the quick-pickled onion – this is your chimichurri mayo
Slice your brioche bun[s] in half
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick), over a medium-high heat
Once hot, add the brioche halves, cut-side down, and cook for 3 min or until toasted and charred, then set them aside until serving
Grate your cheddar cheese
Once the patty is done, remove the tray from the oven and top with the grated cheese
Return the tray to the oven for 3-4 min or until the cheese has melted – this is your cheesy patty[ies]
While the cheese is melting, separate your lettuce into leaves, then wash them thoroughly and pat them dry with kitchen paper
To build your burger, top the toasted brioche base with a few lettuce leaves, a cheesy patty, some quick-pickled onion, a dollop of chimichurri mayo and the toasted brioche lid
Serve the chips, any remaining lettuce leaves and remaining chimichurri mayo to the side
Top the lettuce leaves with any remaining quick-pickled onion
Enjoy!
