4 Baby Gem Lettuce leaves, washed and drained

1 tablespoon of good quality mayonnaise

½ small red onion sliced into thin rings - optional

Method:

1. Mix all the burger ingredients together and shape into 4 burgers approximately 1 1/2 cm thick. Fry a teaspoon of the mixture in a tablespoon of vegetable oil to check the seasoning. Add more salt and pepper to taste as necessary. Cover and chill for 10 minutes.

2. Fry, grill or BBQ the burgers for 5 minutes per side or until cooked through.

To assemble your burgers:

3. Generously spread the two halves of each roll with mustard mayonnaise, place a lettuce leaf onto the base of each roll then add the burger and arrange 1 or two onion slices on top. Gently press the top half of roll in place and serve immediately.
