DIRECTIONS
|
1:
Put the shallots in a bowl with boiling
water to cover. Leave for 1-2 minutes,
then slip off the skins and chop the
shallots finely.
|
|
2:
Mix half the shallots with the beef in a
bowl. Add the chopped parsley and
tomato ketchup, with salt and pepper to
taste. Mix well with clean hands. Divide
the mixture into four. Knead each portion
into a ball, then flatten it into a burger.
|
|
3:
Make a spicy relish by cooking the
remaining shallot with the garlic and
green chilli in the olive oil for
2-3 minutes, until softened. Add the canned ratatouille to the pan
containing the vegetables. Bring to the
boil, then simmer for 5 minutes.
|
|
4:
Meanwhile, preheat the grill (broiler)
and cook the burgers for about
5 minutes on each side, until browned
and cooked through. Meanwhile, split
the burger buns. Arrange lettuce leaves
on the bun bases, add the burgers and
top with warm relish and the bun tops. VARIATION: Set these burgers on individual plates
with spicy corn relish on the side. To
make the relish, heat 2 tbsp oil in
a pan and fry 1 onion, 2 crushed garlic
cloves and 1 seeded red chilli until soft.
Add 2 tsp garam masala and cook
for 2 minutes, then mix in a 11 1/4 oz can whole kernel corn and the
grated rind and juice of 1 lime.
