Anna's burger recipe

Summer on a plate

Ingredients:

• 500g beef mince
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1 tsp mustard
• 1 handful breadcrumbs
• 1 egg
• Salt and pepper.

Method:

1)To begin with, slowly fry the onion in the olive oil for 5-10 minutes until soft. Remove from the heat and chop until very fine. You’ll end up with a delicious onion mush.

2)Tip the mince into a large bowl and crack over the egg. Blob in the mustard and onion mush, then sprinkle over the breadcrumbs.

3)Scrunch everything up with your hands until all is combined, then add a touch of salt and pepper.

4)Divide the mixture up into five or six pieces.

5)One by one, take a ball of mince and squeeze and shape it into a burger-sized patty. Repeat with the rest of the mixture.

6)Line and lightly oil a baking tray. It doesn’t matter if the burgers have a bit of a tight squeeze, they’ll shrink a little bit during cooking.

7)Bake in a hot oven, 200˚C for 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway through.

To serve I’ll lightly toast some burger buns, then load up my burger with mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, lettuce, a few thinly sliced tomatoes and then cheddar slices. It’s an epic meal time. I also require a gherkin on the side. And oven chips are obligatory.
