Ingredients:

 

Jacob's cream crackers (12)

Sprigs of fresh flat-leaf parsley (8)

Quality minced beef (500g)

Large free-range egg (1)

Sea salt

Freshly ground black pepper

Olive oil

Cos or round lettuce (1)

Tomatoes (3)

Red onion (1)

Gherkins (3/4)

Good-quality or fresh burger buns (6)

Slices Cheddar cheese (6)

Heaped tablespoons Dijon mustard (2)

Process:

Cover the crackers in a tea towel and crash up until fine, breaking up any big bits with the hands and place them to a large bowl.

Lightly chop the parsley with the stalks. Attach the parsley, mustard, if using, and minced beef into the bowl. Break in the egg and add a good pinch of salt and pepper.

With the hands, crush and mix up everything up fine. Split into 6 and pat and mould each piece into a circular shape about 2cm wide. Spit the burgers with oil. Place it on a plate. Then cover and place in the fridge until needed.

Preheat a big griddle or frying pan for 4 minutes on a high temperature. Change the heat down to average.

Put the burgers on the griddle/frying pan and use a spatula to lightly press down on them and make sure the burger is in full contact. Boil them to your liking for 3 or 4 minutes on both sides. You can cook them in two batches.

Wash and dry some lettuce leaves and tearing up the larger ones. Piece the tomatoes and peel and finely slice the red onion. Piece the gherkins lengthways. Place all this on a plate.
