BEEF & SUN DRIED TOMATO BURGERS

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, adjusting quantities to taste (I've never measured). The soy sauce is used in place of salt, apparently it doesn't dry the meat out like salt would and adds extra flavour (tip from the Chris Evans show on BBC Radio 2).
• Mix thoroughly by hand.
• Cover with cling film and place in the fridge for at least an hour.
• Form into patties and fry/bbq until browned.
• Enjoy!

GOURMET BURGERS WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATO

Steps:

• Drain tomatoes, reserving 1/3 cup oil; set aside. In a large skillet, saute sliced onions in 3 Tbsp. reserved oil until softened. Add vinegar. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, stirring occasionally, until deep golden brown, 30-40 minutes., Meanwhile, chop sun-dried tomatoes and transfer to a large bowl. Add the red onion, seasonings and remaining 7 tsp. of the reserved oil. Crumble beef over mixture and mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into 16 thin patties. Place 2 tablespoons goat cheese on the center of 8 patties. Top with remaining patties and press edges firmly to seal., Grill burgers, covered, over medium heat until a thermometer reads 160° and juices run clear, 5-7 minutes on each side., Place buns, cut side down, on grill until toasted, 1-2 minutes. Serve burgers on buns with onions and, if desired, mixed greens.

SUN-DRIED TOMATO/PESTO BURGER FOR 2

Steps:

• In a chopper (food processor) puree the onion, garlic, sundried tomatoe/pesto sauce Make 4 patties, 2 slightly larger than the other two.
• Spread the pesto mixture on the two larger patties, not quite to the edge.
• Spread 1 tsp of horseradish on each of the same two patties.
• Sprinkle the two patties with the hot spice blend.
• Add salt and pepper to your taste.
• Cover with the remaining patties and really seal them.
• BBQ or pan fry (if you BBQ use the veggie stir fry pan lightly sprayed with oil, be careful they are delicate and fall apart easily because there is no filler to hold together) Meanwhile lightly toast your buns on the inside then cover each 1/2 bun with a slice of Mozzarello and let it get to the melt stage without burning the bun (do this just before the burgers are fully cooked) Sear both sides of the burgers on high heat and then cover your burgers with a lid to finish cooking turn heat to medium low.
• Put mushrooms beside the burgers, under the lid.
• Remove buns and add your condiments, tomatoe, mustard onion- whatever you like.
