Barbecued beef burger with mango relish

Barbecued beef burger with mango relish

Ingredients

500 g Beef mince

0.25 cup sweet chilli sauce (optional)

1 cloves red onion, finely chopped

2 tbsp finely chopped basil

2 small fresh mangoes, diced

0.5 small red onion, finely sliced

0.70 cup vinegar

0.5 cup brown sugar

1 finely chopped chilli

halved rolls, lettuce leaves, to serve

Method

  • Combine the beef mince, water, sauce, onion and basil. Mix lightly, shape into 4 burgers.
  • Preheat the barbecue flat-plate or pan to moderately-high. Lightly brush or spray the burgers with oil. Add burgers to the barbecue or pan, after 1-2 minutes lower the heat to moderate.
  • Cook for 6-7 minutes each side or until thoroughly cooked. Turn them once only.
  • While burgers are cooking place the mangoes, onion, vinegar, sugar and chilli in a small pan. Cook over a low heat until mangoes are just tender, and relish is syrupy. To serve, place lettuce on rolls, add burgers, and add a spoon of mango relish to each.

Tips

  • Turn the burgers once only. Don't be tempted to turn them too early or they'll stick to the barbecue and fall apart.
  • To turn them gently ease a spatula under each beef burger to lift it from the heat, then, carefully turn the burger with tongs.
  • Burgers and rissoles should always be thoroughly cooked. They should not be served rare or pink. A good guide is to insert a skewer into the thickest part of the burger, you will see a little juice ooze out. If it is ready to eat the juices will be clear, not pinkish.
