Spicy Pineapple burger

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). 

In a large bowl, combine the mince,breadcrumbs,garlic,2 tbsp water (per 2P) and ¼ tsp salt (per 2P). Season with pepper and mix together by hand. Roll into evenly-sized balls, then shape into 2cm thick burgers, 1 per person. 

IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw mince. TIP: Burgers will shrink a little during cooking.

Place a small pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.

Chop the pineapple into 1cm chunks.

Once hot add the pineapple with it's juice, chilli flakes (use less if you prefer less spicy) and a sprinkle of sugar. Stir together until thick and jammy approx. 10-12mins then remove and set aside for later.

Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.

Once hot, fry the burgers until browned and cooked through, 12-14 mins.

Turn every 4 mins, lowering heat if needed. IMPORTANT: Beef is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Remove pan from heat and top with burgers with the pineapple jam.

When everything is almost ready, pop the buns into the oven.Warm through, 1-2 mins.

TIP: Keep an eye on them so they don't burn!

Meanwhile mix half of the salad leaves in a bowl with oil and season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.
