Burger with mashed avocado and potato wedges
four good-quality hamburger buns or rolls
five hundred grams lean beef mince
one red onion, grated
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
two tablespoons olive oil
A bit of spinach or salad and tomato to top your burger with.
one// Cut the buns horizontally into halves. Put the mince, onion, salt and pepper in a bowl and combine well with your hands. Form into four patties, making them slightly larger than the buns because they will shrink during cooking.
two// Heat two tablespoons of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium to high heat, add the hamburger patties and, because the patties tend to puff up, make a small dip in the centre of each with the back of a spoon. Cook for four minutes on each side, or until done to your liking.
three// While the burgers are cooking, toast the buns with the cut side up. Spread the avocado mash on the toasted sides, then top with a patty, some spinach or tomato and the bun tops. Serve with the potato wedges.
Serves four.
Avocado mash
two ripe avocado`s
one teaspoon dried chili flakes (add more or less to your own liking)

four garlic cloves, unpeeled and crushed with the side of a knife
one and a half tablespoons lime juice
two tablespoons Tabasco sauce

one// Preheat the oven to two hundred degrees Celsius. Put the oil, garlic, lime juice and Tobasco in a large bowl and whisk to combine.
