Method
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC/fan 160ºC/gas 4.
- Using your hands or a wooden spoon, mix together the plant-based mince, red onion and red pepper; season well. Divide and shape into 8 balls.
- Trim the chilli cheese to reduce the size of the square slices – about 1cm off each side. With the remaining bits, mush together with your hands to form a ball. Divide this into 8 and shape into balls, then flatten slightly to make disc shapes.
- Press your thumb in the centre of the mince balls and place in the cheese discs, then shape back into balls so the cheese is hidden inside and press into a burger patty shape.
- Heat the sunflower oil over a medium heat in a saucepan and fry the patties for 2 mins a side until nicely browned. Place on a baking tray and cook in the oven for a further 10-15 mins.
- Slice the buns in half and set aside.
- Top the burgers with the cheese slices and return to the oven for 1 min to just begin to melt.
- Place a lettuce leaf on a bun base, followed by a tomato slice, a burger patty, red onion and gherkins, if you like. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 8 sliders. Serve straight away with a glass of cider.
