Method

  • step 1

    Make the burgers: Tip the meat into a bowl and sprinkle over 1 tsp salt and a good grinding of black pepper.Work with wet hands to mix in the seasoning. Divide into four with your hands and shape into burgers. (It can be frozen at this stage.)

  • step 2

    Sort out your ingredients: Slice the beetroot and split the naan breads.

  • step 3

    Toast the naans: Heat a griddle pan or barbecue. Griddle the naans on both sides until lightly toasted and set aside. Add the burgers to the grill or barbecue and cook for 2-3 minutes, then turn and cook the other side for a further 2-3 minutes.

  • step 4

    Assemble the dish: Set half a toasted naan on each serving plate and put a pile of rocket on each. Top with a burger, then a few slices of beetroot and a dollop of soured cream. Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper and serve immediately with a big green salad and chips. A glass of red wine wouldn’t go amiss, either.

@cerrynn. Sorry, but apart from the nan bread, most of what you've described seems to be a different recipe.

Bit like saying: (exaggeration, but...) "Didn't have pork, so I used chicken, and substituted the chanterelle mushrooms for a tin of baked beans"...

As to the 'drips-on-the-shirt' bit, as…

This burglet(1/2 a burger) sounds delish, however, I do agree with other aussies (being one myself) no burger is complete without the pickled beetroot, tomato, cucumber, lettuce, fried onions or whatever else you wish to use, generally trying to avoid the drips from the beetroot and tomato relish or…

Not exactly what I would call an Aussie Burger.. As an Aussie, burgers from my childhood, would be served in burger rolls, be bought from the store (Sainsbury be good to yourself range are very close to what we have back home), the burger would be topped with fried onions, pickled beetroot, a…
