Hamburger on sourdough

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil.
  2. Once hot, add the spanish onion and cook for a minute or two. Turn the heat down and add the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar and combine.
  3. Simmer on a low heat for 15 mins, stirring occasionally. Once the onions have become very soft and dark, tip into a small serving bowl.
  4. Meanwhile, combine the mince, egg and diced white onion in a bowl.
  5. Once combined, shape the mixture into small rissoles.
  6. Heat a little oil in a frying pan and once hot, place the rissoles in the pan.
  7. Cook over a medium heat, turning once.
  8. Remove from pan.
  9. Serve with the caramelised onions, sourdough bread, tomatoes, beetroot, avocado and cheese.

Notes

Tip
I like to put each ingredient into a separate bowl so my family can help themselves and make their own personalised hamburger.
Tip
I mash the avocado into a guacamole-style paste (and add a little squeeze of lemon juice to it) so it can be spread on the bread instead of butter.
