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). Pour in the cooked chopped tomato and 50ml of water. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced and thickened, 8-10 minutes (stirring occasionally). Add an extra splash of water if it reduces too quickly. Season and add a sweetener.
BUTTERED BUN
Butter (optional) the cut-side of the burger bun or drizzle with oil. Place a pan over medium-high heat. When hot, toast the bun, cut-side down, until browned, 2-3 minutes.
FRESH SALAD
In a bowl, combine the shredded green leaves, the cucumber half-moons, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.
