Ingredients
1kg/2lb 3oz shin of beef
2 medium red onions
2 eggs
1-2 handfuls of fresh breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon of coriander seeds, crushed
1 small pinch of cumin seeds, crushed
1 heaped teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method
-
Place the onions into the processor with blade and process until finely chopped. Remove and place into a bowl and then make the breadcrumbs in the same way.
-
Mince the beef into the mixer bowl using the coarse screen. Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl.
-
Preheat the oven to 230C/ 450F/gas 8. Mix and scrunch all the ingredients together. Use the breadcrumbs as required to bind and lighten the mixture.
-
Divide into 6 or 8, then gently and lightly mould and pack each burger together into a smallish cricket-ball-sized shape and place onto a baking sheet.
-
Put in the oven and roast for 20 minutes, so that the middle is slightly pink and the outsides nice and crispy. Serve with a griddled bun, a little salad, some gherkins, tomato relish, and a bottle of ketchup.
