  1. SPICED MINCE

    Boil the kettle. Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the onion and the mince until caramelised, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Work quickly to break the mince up as it starts to cook. Add the spice mix and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Pour in the tomato passata and 150ml of boiling water. Simmer until reduced and thickened, 10-12 minutes (stirring occasionally). Add an extra splash of water, if necessary. Season and add a sweetener (to taste).

  2. TOASTED BURGER BUN

    While the mince is simmering, halve the burger bun and spread butter or oil over the cut-sides. Place a pan over medium heat. When hot, toast the halved bun, cut-side down, until crisp, 1-2 minutes.

  3. FETA & GHERKIN SALAD

    In a salad bowl, toss together the shredded green leaves, the cucumber half-moons, the chopped gherkins (to taste), a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. Crumble over the drained feta.

  4. THANKS, JOE!

    Top the bottom bun half with the mince. Scatter over the cheese and garnish with the chopped parsley. Close up the bun and serve the salad on the side.
