Burgers
Serves 6, 15 mins preparation time, approx 20 mins cooking time
Ingredients:
- 1 small onion, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon sunflower oil
- 450g/1 lb of lean minced steak
- A pinch of cumin seeds
- ½ tablespoon of coriander seeds
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 26g/1oz of freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 level tablespoon of English mustard
- 1 small free-range egg
- 50g/2oz of Kingsmill Great Everyday White breadcrumbs (about 4 slices)
Method:
In a frying pan, slowly cook the onion in a little sunflower oil for about 5 mins until softened but not coloured. Put the meat in a bowl and add in the softened onion. Using a pestle and mortar, grind the cumin and coriander seeds until fine, then add to the meat and onion mixture, along with the freshly ground pepper. Add the Parmesan, mustard, egg and half the breadcrumbs and mix well. TIP: If the mixture feels too sticky, add a few more breadcrumbs.
Lay some greaseproof paper on a tray or large plate and sprinkle over some of the remaining breadcrumbs. Shape the meat into 6 burgers and place these on top of the crumbs on the tray. Sprinkle more crumbs on top and press down gently. TIP: The burgers are better if they are chilled before cooking, so if you have the time, cover and put in to the fridge for an hour or so. Take the burgers out of the fridge and grill them on a medium heat for about 20mins (10mins each side) depending on the thickness of the burgers and how you like them cooked.
Serving Suggestion: Place the burger on to a toasted Kingsmill Soft White Roll or 50/50 Roll, with some tomato ketchup and a salad garnish.
