Kiwi Burger
The next dish is a quite popular dish. Maybe you already know the world-famous burger fast food. But in New Zealand, the Kiwi Burger is something different.
The Kiwi Burger was originally created by the McDonald's Franchise for kiwis and it consisted of a four-ounce beef patty, fried egg, beetroot, tomato, lettuce, cheese, onions, mustard & ketchup. Not many foods get their own theme song! But the Kiwi Burger did!
Ingredients:
- Burger patties: 500 g prime beef mince; 1 Tbsp olive oil; 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce; 1 tsp garlic powder
- Burger sauce: 1/4 cup aioli; 3 Tbsp tomato sauce; 1 tsp Dijon mustard; 1/2 tsp garlic powder; 1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Instructions:
- Prepare patties: Place mince, oil, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Using your hands, gently mix until well combined. Divide into four pieces and shape into patties approximately 1cm / 0.4in thick. Use your thumb to press a dent into one side.
- Make burger sauce: Whisk all sauce ingredients together in a small bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Prepare serving ingredients: Thinly slice onion and tomato.
- Make burgers: Heat a large frying pan on medium-high. Add burger patties and cook for 4-5 minutes (don’t press down on them). Flip and cook for a further 3-4 minutes, until cooked through. Transfer to a board, cover with foil, and leave to rest.
- Spray pan lightly with cooking oil spray and crack eggs into pan to fry, leaving a space to cook the onion - use egg rings to keep them nice and tidy if you like. Add onion. Cook eggs to your liking and onion until soft. Season with a little salt and pepper.
- Cut burger buns in half and lightly toast. Spread each side with burger sauce. Top the bottom with a slice of cheese, burger patty, egg, tomato, onions, beetroot and lettuce. Add top half of the bun and microwave assembled burgers for 10-15 seconds.
