The Ultimate Ostrich Burger

Burgers are pretty much a perfect food. Here we’ve got a juicy homemade ostrich patty sandwiched between a toasty, cheesy bun, along with caramelised onions, fresh green leaves and tomato slices. Oh, and did we mention there are carrot fries on the side?

  1. EDGY VEGGIE

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the carrot wedges on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven for 20-25 minutes until cooked through and crisping up.

  2. GET YOUR HANDS DIRTY

    In a bowl, add the mince, the grated garlic, the rub, the diced onion, an egg, and some seasoning. Mix until fully combined. Shape the mixture into a patty, a little wider than your burger bun.

  3. CARAMEL ONIONS

    Place a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil or a knob of butter. When hot, add the sliced onion and fry for 8-10 minutes, shifting occasionally, until soft and starting to caramelise. Reduce the heat and mix in a sweetener of choice. Fry for a further 4-5 minutes, shifting regularly, until sticky and caramelised. Transfer to a bowl, and cover to keep warm.

  4. JUICY PATTY

    Wipe down the pan and return it to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the patties for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. (This time frame will yield a medium-rare result.) Remove from the pan and set aside to rest for at least 5 minutes.

  5. BUN IN A MILLION

    Return the pan, wiped down, to a medium high heat. Butter the halved burger buns or drizzle with oil. When the pan is hot, toast the halved buns, cut-side down until warmed through and starting to brown. Remove from the pan and sprinkle the cheese on the bottom halves of the buns. Place in the oven cheese side up for 2 minutes until the cheese starts to melt.

  6. BURGER FEAST!

    Place the shredded green leaves on the cheese-covered bun half and top with the sliced tomato, the patty and the caramelised onions. Smear the other bun half with some mayo. Pile the carrot chips on the side with the remaining mayo for dipping. Toss the remaining green leaves with the diced tomatoes and serve on the side. Scrumptious!
