Method

  1. Burgers: Place all the ingredients except the flour in a bowl and mix them together with a fork until well combined. Place the flour onto a large plate. Form the mince into 6 round burgers and coat them in the flour. Cover and refrigerate the burgers until ready to cook.

Coat the burgers in a little oil before cooking them on the barbecue or grill pan. Cook the burgers for 7-8 minutes on each side so that they are brown and cooked through. Remove the burgers from the heat and keep them warm until ready to serve.
