CARAMELISED MINCE
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion until soft, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Cook until caramelised, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally).
SIMMERING SAUCE
Once the mince has browned, add the NOMU rub to the pan. Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Add the diced tomatoes and the tomato paste. Fry until fragrant, 2-3 minutes (breaking the tomatoes with a wooden spoon). Pour in 100ml of water. Simmer until reduced and thickened, 6-8 minutes (stirring occasionally). Add an extra splash of water, if necessary. Season and add a sweetener (to taste).
BUTTERED BUN
Halve the burger bun and spread butter or oil over the cut-sides. Place a pan (with a lid) over medium heat. When hot, toast the halved buns, cut-side down, until crisp, 1-2 minutes.
FRESH SALAD
In a bowl, combine the shredded green leaves, the cucumber half-moons, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.
BRING IT TOGETHER
Place the burger bun, cut-side up, on a plate. Top with the beef mince mixture and close up with the other half of the burger bun. Serve with the fresh salad and dive in!
