- Why did the patty puff up?
- Meat contracts during cooking. Press a small indentation into the centre of the raw patty with your finger so it stays flat after cooking.
Salted Caramel Burger
This burger is not about restraint. The meeting of umami-rich beef, salty cheese and sweet, sticky caramelised onions is a true flavour explosion. The salted caramel sauce is the bridge that connects the savoury and sweet worlds, proving that a dessert favourite can hold its own among main courses.

Instructions
1
✓
Form 4 loose patties from the meat, season with salt and pepper on the outside.
Tip: Do not overwork the meat or it will become dense. Keep the structure loose.
2
✓
Slice the onion and fry in oil. Add the sugar and slowly caramelise until soft.
Tip: The caramelisation of the sugar and the onion's own sugars gives a deep, sweet flavour.
3
✓
Fry the meat in a hot pan for 3-4 minutes per side. After flipping, add cheese and cover to melt.
Tip: The pan should be smoking hot for crust formation.
4
✓
Toast the cut sides of the buns.
Tip: This prevents the sauce from soaking into the bun.
5
✓
Build the burger: bun, lettuce, meat with cheese, caramelised onion, and the salted caramel sauce.
