Ingredients
The eggs and breadcrumbs aren't essential but will help bind the ingredients together.
- 500g good quality mince
- Good pinch of oregano
- 1tsp salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- Handful of breadcrumbs
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- Loaf of ciabatta
- 1 iceberg lettuce
- 4 medium tomatoes
Method
- Place all of the burger ingredients in a large bowl and mix together or whizz all the ingredients in a food processor until the mixture starts holding together.
- Shape the burgers into round flat discs with wetted hands. To get perfectly round shapes, press the mixture into a metal pastry cutter. Don't over-handle the burgers or they'll be tough and dry when cooked.
- Place the burgers on the barbecue or in a frying pan and cook until they're done all the way through and there's no pinkness in the middle. To check this, press down the top of a burger with a fish slice - if there are pink juices oozing out, then cook for a few more minutes.
- Serve on a lightly toasted ciabatta with lettuce and sliced tomato.
