Oregano is one of the nation’s most loved herbs. But while we sprinkle it into pasta sauces and lasagnes with ease, our burgers often lack this tasty herb. Well, no more! This beef burger is as happy as can be with its new Italian buddy, oregano. And don’t forget to add this amazing Stokes ketchup. It’s DELICIOUS!

Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.

Pre-heat your oven to 200 degrees. Wash the sweet potato then chop lengthways into wedges the thickness of your index finger. Toss in a splash of olive oil and a pinch of salt, then spread in a single layer on a baking tray. Cook on the top shelf of your oven until crispy (around 25 mins). Tip: Save the garlic salt for your burgers!
In a bowl mix together the beef mince, the garlic salt, half the tomato ketchup, the dried oregano and a few grinds of black pepper.
Divide your beef mixture into equal portions, one per person, and then, with your hands, form into burger patties roughly 1½cm thick. Slice the smoked cheese into rounds.
Once your sweet potato is almost ready, split each brioche bun in half. Put a frying pan on medium-high heat and toast each bun for 2 mins on each side then remove. Tip: You could use your toaster but whatever happens don’t let them burn!
In the same frying pan, heat a splash of olive oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, gently add in your burger patties and cook for 5-6 mins on each side, or until the meat is fully cooked with no pink bits remaining. Whilst you are cooking the second side, lay your smoked cheese on top (of the cooked side!) for the last minute so that it melts.
Meanwhile, thinly slice the tomato. Toss the rocket in a little drizzle of olive oil with a small pinch of salt and pepper.
Spread a little of your remaining ketchup on your toasted bun. Place your burger on top, then lay your tomato slices and rocket on top and serve with your sweet potato wedges on the side. Tip: You can serve any remaining tomatoes and rocket on the side too.
