Chilli Burger.
I love burgers especially the condiments that go with them. Burgers are great on their own but I can never leave them well alone and will actually spend more time making or sourcing the side dishes than the burgers themselves.
In a large bowl, put in
-800g mince beef,
-2 chopped shallots,
-1 clove chopped garlic,
-1tbsp chopped parsley,
-1 chopped chilli,
-salt/pepper,
-1tsp paprika
-1tsp cayenne pepper.
Mix gently to combine.
Divided into 8 equal portions and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Cook under a hot grill, turning once.
Tomato Sauce.
In a saucepan, fry
-2 shallots,
-1 clove chopped garlic,
Cook, stirring until the vegetables have softened, add
-400g tinned tomatoes,
-salt/pepper,
-1tbsp balsamic vinegar.
Leave to simmer for 10-15 minutes out until the sauce has thickened.
Crispy Onions.
In a saucepan, on medium heat, add
-200g vegetables oil.
Drop a strand of onion to test the oil, when ready add the 2 sliced onions all at once.
Deep fry until the onions turn crisp.
Drain well.
Burger Buns.
