About the recipe
When only a burger will do, this smash-&-cook method will have you covered for a fast filthy fix.
Recipe From
Ingredients
¼ of a small onion
olive oil
125g higher-welfare beef mince
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1 burger bun
tomato ketchup
2 gherkins
American mustard, to serve
1 tomato
1 handful of mixed salad leaves
Method
- Peel the onion, very finely slice into rounds, then break into rings and cook in a large non-stick frying pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil for a few minutes, stirring regularly, then push to one side of the pan.
- Squash the minced meat into a rough patty about ½cm thick and a bit bigger than your bun and place in the pan. Season with black pepper and the Cajun seasoning, then move the onion rings on top and use a fish slice to really smash the onions into the meat.
- Cook for 2 minutes on each side, or until gnarly and cooked through, toasting the halved bun alongside for a minute.
- Spread the bun base with ketchup, sit the burger on top, slice and layer over 1 gherkin, squeeze over mustard to your liking, and pop the lid on.
- Slice the tomato and remaining gherkin to serve on the side with the salad leaves, or stuff it all into your bun, the choice is yours.
