How to make a healthy Hamburger

Ingredients
•1 small onion
•500g good-quality beef mince
•1 egg
•1 tbsp vegetable oil
•4 burger buns
•All or any of the following to serve: sliced tomato, beetroot, horseradish sauce, mayonnaise, ketchup, handful iceberg lettuce, rocket, watercress

1/ Start with good meat. Get a butcher to grind chuck beef for you with a 15% fat content. (More fat and it will just drip off the meat and cause fire flare-ups; less and the burgers will be dry.) If possible, buy the meat the day you’re going to cook it.

2/Place the ground beef in a bowl.

3/Roughly chop the onion and garlic

4/Add the egg yolk

5/Create the burgers.

6/Arrange the burgers on a plate. Cover them with plastic wrap or wax paper. Chill for 30 minutes to a few hours to make the burgers firmer and easier to cook. Burger meat is best cooked cold.

7/Choose your cooking method
