Deli burger

Serves: 12 large patties
Cooking Time: 1 hour

Ingredients

  • Burger patties

  • 3kg lean topside mince
  • 100g fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • 50g fresh coriander, chopped
  • 50g Greek herb mix
  • 12 blocks butter, cold
  • oil, to rub
  • 300g Cheddar
  • 125ml (½ cup) mayonnaise
  • To serve

  • ciabatta rolls
  • BBQ mayonnaise (available at delis)
  • rocket
  • tomato-chilli chutney (see recipe below)

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 180°C. For the burger patties, combine all of the ingredients – except the butter, oil, Cheddar and mayonnaise. Divide into 12 patties and insert a block of butter into each. Rub over a little oil. Preheat a griddle pan over high heat and cook the patties until lightly browned, about 8 minutes on each side. Top the patties with Cheddar and some mayonnaise and finish in the oven, about 10 minutes, depending on how you like your patty cooked.

2

In the meantime, toast the ciabatta rolls. Spread the inside with some BBQ mayonnaise, top with some rocket leaves and insert a cooked burger patty and some tomato-chilli chutney.
