Freekeh Burger
Ingredients
- 200g Cooked Wholegrain Freekeh
- 455g Minced chuck beef
- Salt and Pepper
Classic Cheeseburger Toppings:
- 6 Burger Buns
- 6 Medium cheddar cheese
- 2 Tomatoes - sliced
- 1 Bunch green leaf lettuce
- 1 Red onion – sliced
- 100 g Dill pickle slices
Method
Divide beef and freekeh into 6 portions and form patties that are about ½ inch thick and 1 inch wider than the burger buns. Season patties generously with salt and pepper.
Slice, and prepare all of your burger toppings and sauces.
Preheat grill to medium heat. Spread the cut-side of the bun with softened or melted butter and toast the cut side on a skillet or on the grill until golden brown. You can toast the bun ahead or in the last couple of minutes with the burgers on the grill. Toasting the bun adds great flavour and prevents a soggy bun.
Grill burger patties (indent-side-up) for 3-5 min each side on the grill. Flip burgers when juices are accumulating on top of burger and you have a good sear. Apply cheese in the last 1-2 minutes of grilling then cover with lid and cook until internal temperature of beef reaches 70˚C.
Add burger patties to bun and add burger toppings to serve.
