Burgers With a MediterranianTwist

Ingredients
500g Minced Beef (or Turkey for a healthier option)
8 Sun dried Tomatoes (most stores sell these near the tomato purée, which you can use instead)
2 Tablespoons Pine Nuts
2 Tablespoons Each Chopped Basil and Parsley
1 Small Red Onion
Salt and Pepper
Splash of Olive Oil

Equipment
1 SHARP Knife
1 Chopping Board
1 Large Bowl
1 Griddle/Frying Pan (or BBQ if the weather is good)

The Good Bit
  1. Heat the oil in the frying pan (Don't use any in the griddle)
  2. Chop the onion and tomatoes up as fine as you can along with the basil and parsley and crush the pine nuts (you can char these first if you like for extra flavour in a hot pan with no oil)
  3. Mix all your ingredients together in the bowl with plenty of salt and pepper (if using tomato purée instead of sun dried, and a tablespoon full) mix well then with wet hands gather the mixture together and separate out into even balls and pat down to a burger shape (between 4 and 8 burgers, depending on how thick you like them!)
  4. Fry in your pan turning once, once the under side is looking well done (brown for both mince and turkey) If BBQ 5-6 minutes each side (again dependant on thickness)
  5. Serve however you like, buns, salad, chips (try not to reach for the red or brown sauce till you have tasted the burger)
Serves 4
