Method

• Step 1

  Mix together the mince, garlic, spring onions, carrot, dried herbs and fresh herbs. Season well, then shape into 4 burgers. Cover and chill until ready to cook.

• Step 2

  To make the tomato and onion relish, put the onions, tomatoes, vinegar and mustard into a bowl. Season, toss together and leave to marinate while cooking the burgers.

• Step 3

  Preheat the chat-grill pan, grill or barbecue. Cook the burgers for 6-7 minutes on each side.

• Step 4

  Lightly toast the burger buns on the cut sides. Top with some salad leaves, then place a burger on top of each one. Finish off with slices of Red Leicester cheese and serve with tomato and onion relish.

• Step 5

  Cook's tip: for a blue cheese burger, top with slices of Stilton.
