    Serves: 4
    Cooking Time: 25

    Ingredients

    • 125ml (½ cup) vegetable oil, for
    • frying onion
    • 1 large onion, finely chopped
    • 2kg mincemeat
    • 3 extra large egg yolks
    • 60ml (¼ cup) tomato sauce
    • 60ml (¼ cup) Dijon mustard
    • 2,5ml (½ tsp) pouring salt
    • a pinch of fine black pepper
    • olive oil, for frying burgers
    • To serve

    • tomatoes, sliced
    • red onions, sliced
    • microgreens
    • apple chips (optional)
    • crispy onion rings (optional)

    Instructions

    1

    Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the chopped onion until lightly browned.

    2

    Add the mincemeat and onions to a large bowl with the balance of the ingredients, except for the olive oil. Combine well and shape into flattened burger patties. Place on a greased baking tray, cover and refrigerate for at least an hour.

    3

    Lightly coat the bottom of a non-stick frying pan with olive oil. Heat the pan and fry the burgers on medium heat for 5 – 7 minutes per side, being cautious when turning to prevent breaking the burger.

    4

    If you prefer a well-done burger, fry for longer. If the burger is browning too quickly turn the heat down. Remove fried burgers to an ovenproof serving platter.

    5

    To reheat burgers, preheat the oven to 180 ° heat until the burgers are heated through.

    6

    Toast the cut sides of the burger roll on a heated dry frying pan. Top roll with a burger patty, sliced tomato, sliced red onion and microgreens.

    7

    Serve with apple chisp and onion rings (if using), and a sauce of your choice.
