Herby Burgers and Wedges with Cheddar Cheese
with Parsley Tomato Salad
There are few things more delicious than a perfectly juicy homemade burger. Especially when they’re on the table in 30 minutes flat. Served alongside chunky potato wedges and a chimichurri tomato salad for a kick of heat, it’s hard to go wrong with this super simple recipe. To avoid a saucer-shaped patty, make a slight indentation with your thumb in the centre of your raw patty. This helps the meat cook evenly, maintaining its shape as it shrinks during cooking.

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Chop the potatoes into 2cm wide wedges (no need to peel). Pop them onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through.
Meanwhile, finely chop the parsley (stalks and all).
Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
In a large bowl, combine the garlic, oregano and half the parsley. Mix in the breadcrumbs, salt and water for the breadcrumbs (see pantry for both amounts), then add the beef and pork mince.
Season with pepper and mix together with your hands.
Roll into even-sized balls, then shape into 1cm thick burgers, 1 per person. TIP: The burgers will shrink a little during cooking. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.
Pop the burgers onto a baking tray and bake on the middle shelf of your oven until cooked through, 12-15 mins. IMPORTANT: The burgers are cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
While the burgers cook, grate the cheese.
Once cooked, carefully place the cheese on top of the burgers and pop back into the oven until the cheese has melted, 2-3 mins.
Meanwhile, halve the tomatoes and pop them into a bowl.
Add the remaining parsley along with the red wine vinegar and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for amount). Season with salt and pepper and mix together.
Just before the wedges are cooked, halve the burger buns. Pop them onto a baking tray and into the oven to warm through, 2-3 mins.
When everything's ready, spread some mayo (see pantry for amount) on the base of each bun. Add the burger, then top with the bun lid.
Serve with the potato wedges and parsley tomato salad.
Enjoy!
Step 4 MOD: If you’ve chosen to add Cheddar to your meal, grate it while the burgers cook. Once cooked, top the burgers with the cheese and return to the oven until melted, 2-3 mins.
