Cooking Instructions
Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ 400°F/ Gas 6
Cut the potatoes (skins on) into chunky chips, then strip the rosemary leaves and chop them roughly
Add the chips to a baking tray with a drizzle of vegetable oil, a generous pinch of both salt and pepper and sprinkle the chopped rosemary over
Put the tray in the oven for 25-30 min or until golden
2
Meanwhile, peel and grate the brown onion[s] into a bowl and add the beef mince, panko breadcrumbs and a pinch of salt and pepper
Mix well and divide the beef into 2 [4] and shape into patties
Cut the cheddar into 8 [16] pieces
Top the middle of each patty with 4 pieces of cheese, seal them in with the beef (make sure there are no gaps)& refrigerate until later
3
Meanwhile, cut the tomato[es] into small, bite-sized pieces
Peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic
Heat a pot with 2 tbsp [4 tbsp]olive oil over a medium heat
Once hot, add the tomatoes with a pinch of salt and cook them for 2-3 min
Add the chopped garlic and tomato paste and cook for 1 min further
4
Add the balsamic vinegar, 100ml [150ml]water and 2 tsp [4 tsp]sugar and bring to the boil
Cook for 5-6 min or until the tomatoes have broken down and the sauce is the consistency of ketchup
Once thickened, season with a pinch of salt and remove from the heat – this is your homemade ketchup
5
Meanwhile, cut the brioche roll[s] in half
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) over a high heat
Once hot, add the brioche,cut-side down, and toast for 3 min or until coloured and charred on one side only
Once charred, remove and set aside (keep the pan for the next step)
6
Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of vegetable oil
Once hot, add the cheesy patties and cook for 3 min on each side or until they're browned
Tip: press the patties down with a spatula so that they keep their shape!
Once browned, transfer the cheesy patties to a baking tray and put the tray in the oven for 15-18 min or until they're cooked through
7
Meanwhile, chop the basil roughly, including the stalks
Add the chopped basil to a pestle & mortar with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil and grind to a paste
Add 1-2 tbsp more olive oil and mix to combine – this is your basil oil
Combine the white wine vinegar with 2 tbsp [4 tbsp] olive oil with a pinch of salt and pepper – this is your dressing
