Instructions
1
- Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
- Chop the sweet potatoes lengthways into 1cm slices, then into 1cm fries (peeling optional).
- Pop onto a large (lined) baking tray. Toss with salt, pepper and a drizzle of oil. Spread out in a single layer. You want them well spaced out to achieve a crispy finish!
- When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 20-25 mins. Turn halfway through.
TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
2
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the mince, breadcrumbs, 2 tbsp water and ¼ tsp salt (double both for 4p). IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat.
- Season with pepper and mix together by hand.
- Roll into evenly-sized balls, then shape into 2cm thick burgers, one per person. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat.
TIP: Burgers will shrink a little during cooking.
3
- Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, fry the burgers until browned on the outside and cooked through, 12-14 mins.
- Turn carefully every 3-4 mins, adjusting the heat if needed. IMPORTANT: Burgers are cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
- While the burgers cook, halve, peel and thinly slice the shallot.
4
- Place a pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, fry the lardons and shallot until golden, stirring often, 5-7 mins. IMPORTANT: Cook lardons well.
- Add a splash of water and the sweet chilli sauce. Cook for 2-3 mins. Once cooked, remove from the pot and cover to keep warm. Give the pot a quick wipe.
- Trim the baby gem, reserving 1 leaf per burger. Halve the rest lengthways and thinly slice widthways.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes.
5
- Return the pot to medium-high heat with 2 tbsp butter (double for 4p).
- Once melted, add 1 tbsp flour (double for 4p).
- Stir in 100ml water (double for 4p) a little at a time. Bring to the boil, stirring, then simmer until thickened, 1-2 mins.
- Mix in the creme fraiche, cheese and ½ tsp pepper (double for 4p). Stir until all the cheese has melted. Season to taste with salt.
- Pop the burger buns into the oven to warm through, 2-3 mins.
6
- In a large bowl for the salad, mix together the tomatoes and sliced baby gem with a drizzle of oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- To assemble the burgers, spread a spoonful of sweet chilli bacon over the base bun.
- Top with reserved salad leaves, burgers and cheese sauce. Sandwich closed with the top bun.
- Serve with sweet potato fries, tossed salad and any remaining cheese sauce alongside.
- Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the salad.
