  • 1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
  • 6 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons mango chutney
  • 1/2 mango peeled and finely diced
  • 1/2 red bell pepper cut into cubes
  • 1 green onion sliced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 lime zested and juiced
  • 4 sprigs cilantro finely chopped

Method

  • For the burgers, knead together the ground beef, breadcrumbs, 4 tbsp water, fried onions, mustard and egg. Season with salt, pepper, thyme, garlic, cayenne pepper, cinnamon and nutmeg. Form the mixture into 6 patties and chill. Mix the mayonnaise and chutney together and set aside.
  • For the mango salsa, mix the mango, peppers, green onions, garlic, lime zest and juice, and cilantro. Season to taste.
  • For the tomato salad, mix the cucumber, tomatoes and red onion. Mix the oil and vinegar, beat vigorously and drizzle the dressing on to the salad. Season to taste.
  • Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a frying pan and fry the burgers for 15 mins until golden, turning as necessary. Cut the rolls in half and spread them with mayonnaise-chutney mixture. Put a lettuce leaf on each, followed by a hamburger, some mango salsa and the top half of the roll. Attach the pickles to the top of the rolls with wooden skewers. Serve with the cucumber and tomato salad garnished with 1 chili pepper.
