Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the griddle with the burners on medium, to about 200°C.
  2. Finely slice the chilli, roughly chop the herbs and put them in the gherkin jar with the cloves. Finely slice the gherkins diagonally, return them to the jar, close the lid and shake to mix.
  3. Put most of the burger sauce ingredients in a bowl, squeeze in the lemon juice, mix and season. Finely slice the lettuce, add it to the bowl and mix well.
  4. Grate the beetroot and apple, roughly chop the mint and any nice beetroot leaves, and put them in a bowl. Squeeze over the lemon juice, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and season.
  5. Divide the mince into 4, shape into balls, pat together without packing too tightly, and season with sea salt and black pepper.
  6. Place the burgers on the griddle and press them to about 1.5 cm thick. Add the bacon alongside. Cook for 1 minute, then flip the burgers and bacon, brush ½ teaspoon of mustard over the cooked side of each burger, and cook for 1 more minute.
  7. Flip the burgers again, top each with a slice of cheese and 2 slices of crispy bacon. Cover each pair of burgers with a basting dome and slide 1 ice cube under each. Cook for 1 more minute, or until the cheese has melted.
  8. Cut the buns in half and toast them on the griddle for 1 minute, turning halfway.
  9. Spread burger sauce on the base of each bun, then top with a cheesy burger, a dollop of slaw and a few gherkin slices.
