Cooking Instructions

  1. To make the relish, pre-heat the oven to 220°c.
  2. Place all the ingredients in a small roasting tray and place in the oven. Allow to roast for 20-25 minutes until the tomatoes are soft and have started caramelising around the edges.
  3. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
  4. To make the mayo (makes approx. 1 cup, keep in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 1 week), place the egg yolks, mustard, smoked paprika, lemon juice and salt in a tall container and blend with a stick/emersion blender for 10 seconds until well combined.
  5. Whilst blending, slowly pour the oil in a thin stream until half of the oil has been incorporated. The remaining oil can be poured in a steadier stream whilst continuously blending until all of the oil has been incorporated. If your mayo seems very thick, simply add a tablespoon or two of water and blend. Set aside.
  6. Heat a large frying pan and fry the burger patties for 3-4 minutes per side until cooked through. before removing them from the pan add a slice of cheese onto each pattie.
  7. To assemble the burgers, halve the buns and toast them. Top with a generous dollop of the mayonnaise followed by fresh rocket.
  8. Place the cheese-topped patties onto the fresh rocket and top with a spoonful of the tomato relish followed by sliced red onion. Close the burger with the remaining bun and serve immediately.
  9. To make the beer battered onions, combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and whisk to combine.
  10. Slowly pour in the beer and whisk until you have a thick but smooth batter. The batter needs to be the consistency of shop-bought custard.
  11. Heat enough oil to deep-fry the onion rings in a pot.
  12. When the oil is hot, dip the onion rings (sliced into 1cm rings) into the batter, shake off excess and carefully place in the hot oil. Allow to fry for 1-2 minutes until the batter is golden brown and crisp.
  13. Remove from the oil, allow to drain on kitchen paper and serve.
