Bettys Burger Patties Aussie Style Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Heat the oil in a pan and fry the onion for 2 minutes - enough to take away the rawness and just cook through.
• 2. Place all the ingredients (including the cooked onion) in a large bowl and use your hands to mix well.
• 3. Form into 10-12 equal sized patties. Place on a large plate. Cover and pop in the fridge for at least 1 hour or over night.
• 4. Cook patties on a hot grill, BBQ or griddle plate. Only turn once and DON'T press down with a spatula.
• 5. Serve inside your favourite burger.

Steps:

• In medium bowl, mix all ingredients except margarine, buns, lettuce and dill dip. Shape mixture into 4 patties, using heaping 1/2 cupfuls for each patty.
• In 10-inch nonstick skillet, melt margarine over medium heat. Cook patties in margarine over medium heat 10 to 12 minutes, turning once, until brown and cooked through.
• Fill buns with lettuce, salmon patties and dill dip.

Steps:

• To make the burgers, mix together all the ingredients and knead well so everything is thoroughly mixed. Separate the mix into 6, roll each into a large ball, then shape into burgers (see photos, right). Put them in the fridge and, if possible, leave to chill for at least 1 hr. They can be made up to 2 days ahead.
• To cook the burgers, get the barbecue good and hot with the coals glowing. You don't need to add any oil to the burgers. Put them on the barbecue and leave for a few mins until the edges start to colour, then slide a fish slice under the burgers and turn over. Repeat the process, then turn again. Remove to the cooler side of the barbecue and leave to cook for a good 15 mins if you like them well cooked.
• While the burgers are cooking, BBQ the bacon and pineapple. Top the burgers with the bacon, then add the cheese and put back on the barbecue to melt. Warm the baps over the barbecue, too, if you like.
• Divide the mayo between the bap bases and top with the burgers. Add the pineapple, beetroot, tomato and lettuce, then put the lids on top.
