Silver Fern Farms Beef and Lamb Burgers with Gherkin Relish and Swiss Cheese

Makes 4

Ingredients:

4 Silver Fern Farms Beef and Lamb with Mānuka Smoked Salt Burgers
Olive oil, for brushing
4 slices Swiss cheese
4 hamburger buns, split in half and toasted
2 tbsp harissa sauce
Watercress sprigs

Gherkin Relish

4 sweet pickled gherkins, finely chopped
¼ small onion, finely chopped
2 tsp capers, finely chopped
1 green chilli, finely chopped
1 tbsp finely chopped parsley
1 tsp wine vinegar
1 tsp olive oil

Method:

Remove Silver Fern Farms Beef and Lamb with Mānuka Smoked Salt Burgers from the fridge and allow to bloom for 10 minutes at room temperature.

To make the gherkin relish, combine all the ingredients together in a small bowl. Season to taste, then set aside while you prepare the burgers.

Preheat a barbecue on high. Brush the burgers with a little olive oil then cook for 31/2 minutes each side, or until cooked through (cook for 4 minutes each side if cooking on the stovetop). Top with a slice of cheese and allow the heat to melt the cheese.

To serve, spread some harissa sauce over the bottom of each bun. Add some watercress, a burger, then a spoonful of gherkin relish. Add the burger top.
