[surfstak]

Unless you had been on Mars this past week im sure your sick of my cutting patter, anyhoo in my Journal I posted that I had been making these bad boys.
Just thought id post it in its own thead cos I love im sooo much, great with potato wedges too, (my cheat meal).

Ingredients
450g/16oz lean beef mince
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp tomato ketchup
1 tsp mustard
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 red chilli, finely chopped
1 small onion, finely diced
2 spring onions, sliced
handful basil leaves, chopped
olive oil for frying

Method
1. In a large bowl mix together the mince, garlic, tomato ketchup, mustard, egg, chilli and onion.
2. Dive in with your hands and mix until the ingredients are well blended.
3. Just before cooking, add the spring onions and basil to the mixture and divide into four patties.
4. Heat a little olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan and fry the burgers.
5. Turn them once only, cooking for about 5-6 minutes each side. (Alternatively you can cook them under a grill for the same time turning half way through.)
6. Serve with burger buns and salad
