Written By Kate Brocklehurst

Ingredients

1 tbsp Brock and Morten natural rapeseed oil, or flavoured depending on preference

1 Onion

500g good quality minced beefFr

1 egg

Burger buns

Toppings of your choice, our suggestions are below.

Method

Finely chop the onion and add to a mixing bowl.

Add the minced beef and egg to the onion and mix thoroughly.

Roll the mixture into balls around the size of a tennis ball. Make this larger if you would like larger burgers or smaller if you would like to create sliders. Press down to flatten.

Once you have used up all of the mixture add to a plate and cover with clingfilm. Leave in the fridge for up to an hour to firm.

Cook either on the bbq or in a griddle pan. Oil the burger rather than the pan. Use the Brock and Morten rapeseed oil of your choice to brush onto one side of the burger. Cook for 5 minutes and then oil the other side before cooking for the same amount of time. If you would prefer your burger not to be pink in the middle then cook for slightly longer.

Add to your burger bun and have fun with the toppings!

Note: We love getting creative with our flavoured oils to add some extra flavour to our burgers. Try our chilli, garlic, smoked and thai flavoured rapeseed oils for a new take on your burger!

The Toppings

One of our favourite parts of creating a burger is the toppings here are some of our suggestions:

Cheese - From sliced Emmental to brie, crispy halloumi to mozzarella, cheese is definitely a fundamental part of a burger.

Sauce - Often once sauce alone will not do the trick. Some of our favourites are mustard, bbq, tomato ketchup or burger sauce.

Salads - Lettuce, onions, gherkins, tomatoes are all winners for us. We love adding in variations of these such as sun dried tomatoes and pink pickled onions or crispy dried onions.

The Extras - Bacon, egg, mushrooms, avocado are all great additions to making your burger epic.
