I simply adore this recipe for homemade burgers. I love to have a burger at least once a week and with so many different flavourings you can experience a different burger every time you indulge. The recipe we have listed will make 6-7 substantial sized burgers so you can wrap them up in cling film and freeze some until they are required. Also if you wish, use this recipe to make meat balls to serve with tomato enriched spaghetti.
Ingredients:
1 ½lb/700g lean minced beef
1 medium sized onion-finely diced
2 cloves garlic
2ozs/50g breadcrumbs
2ozs/50g grated parmesan/mozzarella cheese
2 dessert spoon tomato ketchup/chilli jam
1 large egg
Freshly chopped parsley
Seasoning
Instructions:
- Put the minced beef into a large mixing bowl.
- Add in the finely diced onion and garlic.
- Mix in the breadcrumbs, cheese and chopped parsley together with the tomato ketchup/chilli jam.
- Season the mixture with a little salt and pepper.
- Add in the egg and mash the mixture together with your hands using the egg as a binding agent.
- Divide the mixture into 6-7 pieces and using a little plain flour shape them into your desired shapes about ½ inch thick.
- Allow to rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat a large frying pan with a little oil and then pan fry the burgers on either side until golden brown.
- Transfer them to the oven and cook for 12-15 further minutes to make sure that they are well cooked through.
- Cut one in the center just to make sure as undercooked mince is a high risk product.
Cajun Potato Wedges
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4.
- Wash some rooster potatoes and cut into chunky wedges.
- Drizzle with a small amount of oil and some Cajun spice.For 4 large potatoes I would normally use a level teaspoon of spice.
- Mix them all together in a bowl and place on a baking tray lined with parchment.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until crispy and well cooked through to the centre.
Spicy Tomato & Chili Relish
Sometimes it is nice to pile this onto some well toasted bread as like a Thai style bruschetta.

½ red onion-diced
2 Garlic cloves-chopped
1 tablespoon chopped coriander
4 ripe tomatoes-deseeded and chopped
75-80ml Olive oil
1 fresh chilli-finely diced
1 red pepper-diced
Seasoning
Instructions:
- Finely chop the red peppers and red chilli. Set these aside.
- Meanwhile deseed the tomatoes, chop the onions and garlic and add these to the red pepper ad chilli mixture.
- Mix in chopped herbs, seasoning and oil.
- Add a squeeze of lime juice and store in the fridge until ready to eat.
