Burgers are awesome. I'm a big fan, especially of a good ol' homemade hamburger with beetroot, cheese and BBQ sauce. Or a crumbed fish burger, yum! There are 4 things that make, or break, a burger - tasty homemade patties (or fish, chicken, falafel) - plenty of herbs/spices, yum; good buns; fresh salad; and the sauce. Oh, the sauce. It's key.
Chelsea Winter has just released her latest cookbook - Eat. It has a recipe for Crunchy Buffalo Chicken Burgers with a Blue Cheese Sauce, which I am keen as to make. They sound amazing! In the meantime however, I thought I'd share a couple of her other burger sauces which will just take your burger experience to the next level of amazingness!
Secret sauce for best-ever cheeseburger
3/4 cup mayo (Best Foods or Pams American are good)
2 tbsp onion, finely chopped
3 gherkins, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp tomato paste
salt and pepper, to taste
Avocado-basil mayo, for sublime chicken burgers (ooh, with bacon!)
1/2 cup mayo (as above)
1 ripe avocado, mashed
2 handfuls fresh basil leaves, torn up
squeeze of lemon juice
salt and pepper, to taste
