METHOD

Preheat the oven to grill.

Place all the patty ingredients in a bowl, season and combine.

Shape into 4-5 patties, cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Preheat a BBQ or frying pan to a medium heat.

Brush the patties with a little oil and cook for a few minutes until crunchy and brown on one side.

Turn the patties over, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for another 8-10 minutes until cooked through.

Transfer the patties to a roasting dish or oven tray and lay a slice or two of cheese on top of each one.

Cook under the grill for a minute or so until the cheese starts to melt over the patties.

To make the secret sauce, combine all the ingredients and season as required.

Spread the bottom bun with a dollop of sauce, place a patty on top then add the lettuce leaves and slices of red onion.
