Preparation
Mrs Elswood Relish:
Finely chop the peppers, pickles & onion
In a pan, add the sugar, vinegar & pickle juice and reduce by 1/3
Add the chopped vegetables and continue cooking on a high temperature until you reach a thick, jam-like consistency (about 30mins), then allow to cool
Dill Mayo:
Add all ingredients into a bowl a stir, then set aside
Burgers:
Split mince into 10, then mould into patties
Rub a touch of sunflower oil on the burger patties to stop sticking, then put the patties on the BBQ
Heavily season the top side of the patties with salt & pepper (don’t be afraid to overseason as a lot will fall off, and this helps to keep the burgers juicy)
Once the bottom is caramelized, turn over and add the American cheese, this will give the cheese time to melt, and to keep the meat nice and pink
Toast the buns, then put some dill mayo and lettuce on the bottom bun
Once the meat is cooked and the cheese melted, put on a tray (this will rest the meat and ensure the bun doesn’t get wet)
On top of the cheese, put some Mrs Elswood relish and sliced pickles followed by the top lid,
Combine the bottom and top part and enjoy!
