Method
- Dice one of the onions and slice the other into 0.5cm thick rings; set the rings aside. Mix the diced onion, mince, egg, breadcrumbs, cumin seed and dijon mustard together. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Divide the mince mixture into 4 and form into burgers, place in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Meanwhile heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a frying pan and lightly fry the onion rings for a couple of minutes until they start to brown and soften. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Heat a grill, griddle or barbecue until hot. Rub the burgers with the remaining oil and cook, rotating after 3 minutes, for roughly 6 minutes per a side, until the burgers are cooked through but still juicy. Remove and leave to rest.
- Toast the cut side of the hamburger bun and top each bottom piece with lettuce and a burger, then layer on the sliced cheese, onions rings and slices of tomato.
