Serves 4


Ingredients

2 tomatoes, sliced

Half lettuce

4 slices cheese

12 sliced pickles

4 burger buns


Burger sauce

¼ c mayonnaise

2 tbsp tomato sauce

1 tsp dijon mustard

1 tbsp pickle juice 


Method

  1. Take the burger patties out of the fridge 20 mins before you plan on cooking them.
  2. Ensure all of your toppings are ready to go, then start making the sauce.
  3. Add all of the sauce ingredients into a bowl and mix thoroughly. Taste and season if necessary.
  4. Place a heavy based pan on medium high heat and add in a trickle of oil.
  5. Once hot, add in the burger patties, season with salt and press down with spatula or a burger weight. 
  6. When nicely caramelised on one side (around 3 minutes) turn over and press down again.
  7. After a minute, add on cheese and finish cooking. Remove from pan.
  8. Add in the burger buns and briefly toast both sides.
  9. To assemble the burger, spread a good amount of the sauce on the base of the bun, followed by lettuce, burger pattie, tomato, pickles, onion then more burger sauce and finally the top of the bun.
