Beef & Hummus Burger


Description

Perfect for serving at a large party or summer barbecue, this mini burgers are flavoured with herbs and savoury soy sauce, before being topped with sticky caramelised onions and creamy hummus for a delicious contrast.

Ingredients

Burgers:
500g lean beef mince
1 medium onion, peeled and diced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/4 bunch flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1/4 bunch tarragon, chopped
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tbsp of tomato purée
2 tbsp of soy sauce
2 tbsp of tomato ketchup
50g of brown breadcrumbs, fresh
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp of vegetable oil, for frying

Caramelised onions:
3 medium onions, peeled and sliced
25g unsalted butter
1/4 bunch thyme, leaves picked
1/2 tsp salt

To serve:
6 slices of Emmental, cut to fit the burgers
1 ciabatta loaf
6 tsp hummus
6 handfuls of rocket, small
2 tbsp of olive oil

Directions

To make the burgers, mix together the mince, onion, garlic and tarragon in a bowl.

Add the wet ingredients to the bowl along with the breadcrumbs and mix to thoroughly combine. Season with salt and pepper.

Shape into 6 equal patties and refrigerate until needed.

For the caramelised onions:
Melt the butter in a medium-sized frying pan. Add the onions, thyme and salt and cook for around 20–25 min until golden and sticky.

In a separate pan, heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil and once hot, brown the burgers on both sides. Reduce the heat and continue to cook for 6–7 min until cooked through. Alternatively, cook on a barbecue.

Remove from the heat and place a slice of cheese on top of each burger to lightly melt.

Slice the ciabatta loaf into 6 small squares to use as burger buns. Brush the ciabatta slices with oil and grill or toast lightly. Spread one half with hummus, then lay the beef patties on the other.

Add the caramelised onions and rocket then sandwich together to make burgers and serve.

Enjoy!
