  1. CARAMELISED ONION

    Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the sliced onion until caramelised, 8-10 minutes (shifting occasionally). At the halfway mark, add a sweetener. Remove from the pan, season, and cover.

  2. PATTY PREP

    In a bowl, combine the mince, the NOMU rub, and seasoning. Wet your hands slightly and shape the mince mixture into 1 ball, of about 1cm thick. Set aside.

  3. PANCAKES PREP

    In a bowl, combine the pancake mix with a pinch of salt. Gradually whisk in the milk until a smooth batter. The consistency should be pourable but not too runny.

  4. LET THE FUN BEGIN

    Place a non-stick pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, cook 2 small pancakes (about 10cm wide) until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown, 2-3 minutes.

  5. YOU’RE SMASHING THIS!

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the beef ball, using a spatula or burger press, smash the ball flat into a thin patty (about 1cm thick). Cook until the edges are crispy and browned, 1-2 minutes. Flip, add the sliced cheese, cover with a lid and cook until the cheese is melted, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the pan.

  6. SOME FRESHNESS

    In a salad bowl, combine the vinegar, a drizzle of olive oil, and 5ml of sweetener. Add the shredded leaves, the carrot ribbons, the sliced peppers, seasoning, and toss to combine.

  7. TIME TO DINE

    Top 1 of pancakes with the cheesy smashed patty, caramelised onions, and sliced gherkins. Drizzle over the mayo (to taste), then close with the remaining pancake. Serve the salad on the side and dig in, Chef!
