McClure’s Sweet & Spicy Pickles
Mix together all the sauce ingredients and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes for the flavours to develop.
Place a pan over medium-low heat.
Add the butter and when melted, add as many bun halves, interior side down, as you can. Cook until toasted and lightly golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Remove from the pan and set aside.
Repeat with the remaining buns until they’ve all been toasted. Add more butter to the pan, as needed.
Divide the mince into 8 roughly equal portions.
Season each patty with salt and pepper.
Heat a pan (a cast iron pan is perfect) or a BBQ hot plate until very hot. Lightly oil.
Place portions of meat in the pan as space allows. Use a metal spatula to press down very firmly to flatten.
Wait until you can see the meat browning really well at the edges before flipping it over – usually a minute or two.
Place a slice of cheese over each patty and cook for a further minute.
Spread one half of the toasted bun with the burger sauce.
Place lettuce leaves and sliced tomatoes on the bottom bun.
Top with two burger patties.
Finish with sliced red onion and extra pickles.
