with Potato Wedges and Chimichurri Tomato Salad
There are few things more delicious than a perfectly juicy homemade burger. Especially when they’re on the table in 30 minutes flat. Served alongside chunky potato wedges and a chimichurri tomato salad for a kick of heat, it’s hard to go wrong with this super simple recipe. To avoid a saucer-shaped patty, make a slight indentation with your thumb in the centre of your raw patty. This helps the meat cook evenly, maintaining its shape as it shrinks during cooking.

Preheat your oven to 200°C. Chop the potatoes into 2cm wide wedges (no need to peel). Pop the wedges onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary. Roast on the top shelf of your oven until golden, 25-30 mins. Turn halfway through.
Meanwhile, finely chop the parsley (stalks and all). Halve the chilli lengthways, deseed and finely chop. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Put the garlic, oregano, half the parsley and half the chilli into a large bowl. Add the breadcrumbs and water (see ingredients for amount). Season with pepper and 1/4 tsp salt, mix, then add the beef mince. Mix with your hands until combined, then shape into burgers about 2cm thick, 1 per person. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the burgers and fry until browned on the outside and cooked through, 12-14 mins total. Carefully turn them every 4 mins and lower the heat if needed. IMPORTANT: The burgers are cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
While the burgers cook, halve the tomatoes and pop them into a bowl. Add the remaining parsley and chilli along with the red wine vinegar and olive oil (see ingredients for amount). Season with salt and pepper and mix together. Halve the burger buns. 2-3 mins before the wedges are cooked, put the buns in your oven to warm through.
When everything is ready, spread some mayonnaise on the bottom of each bun. Add the burger, followed by the top of the bun. Serve with the potato wedges and tomato salad alongside. Enjoy!
