Directions

  1. Preheat fan-forced oven to 180C / 356F.
  2. In a large bowl add mince, crack egg discarding shell, breadcrumbs and crushed garlic. Mix to combine with clean hands.
  3. Divide mixture into 5 even portions, roll into round balls in palm of hand. Slowly pat down to a round flat pattie 8cm / 3 3/4in wide. Place on plate and put in the fridge for 10 minutes.
  4. Prepare the vegetables. Drain beetroot and sit on absorbent paper to dry juice out.
  5. Heat oil in a large pan on low heat.
  6. Add onion and patties. Cook patties for 5 minutes on each side. Occasionally stir onions and pat down patties with a spatula to flatten.
  7. Prepare bread rolls by slicing in half and placing on a baking tray. Place in oven for 5 minutes. Remove.
  8. Assemble each hamburger on individual plates. On bottom half of bread roll add pattie, tomato sauce, 1-2 tablespoons of onion, 2 slices of beetroot, 2 slices of tomato, lettuce and finish with top of bread roll. Repeat for all hamburgers and serve.
