-
Put the minced meat in a large
bowl and season with salt and pepper, then divide into
four and form into patties. Set on a plate, cover and
place in the fridge for one hour to chill.
-
Meanwhile, prepare your
barbecue (if using) so the flames have died down and the
coals are just glowing or use a griddle pan.
-
Stir the lemon juice
into the mayo and season to taste with salt and pepper.
-
Rub the patties with the
vegetable oil, then place on the barbecue and char grill on
each side for three or four minutes. (Alternatively cook
over a high heat on a griddle pan.)
-
Place each brioche cut side
down on to the barbecue and cook for one minute, then set
aside.
-
To assemble the burger, place
some relish on the base of each bun, top with lettuce,
tomatoes, the burger, cheese, mayo, gherkins and red
onion, then top with the bun lids.
-
Place the burgers on serving
plates and secure with wooden skewers to keep them
together, if you like.
