MEDITERRANEAN BURGERS WITH SPICY TOMATO SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or barbecue to medium. (Alternatively, you can use a cast-iron, ridged grill pan on the stove for cooking the patties.) Place the minced beef, breadcrumbs, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes and coriander in a large bowl and use your hands to mix the ingredients together thoroughly.
• Divide the mixture equally into four and shape into patties, about 10 cm across and a similar size to the buns.
• Brush the grill rack or grill tray lightly with oil and cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, until browned on the outside and cooked through.
• To make the salsa, mix together all the ingredients in a bowl. Season to taste. You can chop all the salsa ingredients together in the food processor to save time - just use the pulse button to get the right consistency.
• Split the buns in half and pop under the grill or onto the barbecue rack to toast lightly. Place a few rocket leaves on each base, top with a patty and add a spoonful of salsa, then replace the tops. Serve immediately.

Meanwhile, grill the burgers about 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Toast the buns on the grill.
