Pepper-Cheese Burger

Normally, Thursdays is "Chicken or Fish" days, right? We had fish last week... remember those stunningly delicious Lemon Tuna Tartlets? So this week has to be chicken.. Except I didn't have nearly enough chicken left!! And I actually did go shopping yesterday, but the one branch of a VERY well known supermarket chain, had the worst selection of groceries, so I went to the other branch.This one had what the other didn't - and vica versa... so I didn't buy any chicken... Now what?
I've already swopped Monday and Wednesday, so I decided to swop Thursday and Friday. Fridays are take away foods... And what better easy to make take away food, than the humble Hamburger?? 
Being Risch, I cannot just make a burger... I have to add some zing...

Ingredients

1 bun per burger
3 slices of tomato per burger
1 large lettuce leaf per burger
1/2 onion, cut into rings, per burger
1 beef patty per burger
butter to spread on the buns
Pepper Sauce
1tbs balsamic vinegar
1tbs butter
1/4cup grated cheddar cheese per burger

Zing mayo: (enough for 4 burgers)
3tbs mayonnaise
1t lemon juice

Method

Place the onion rings in a bowl and just cover with water. 

 Add the balsamic vinegar and cook for 10 minutes on high in the microwave. Drain. Melt the butter in a pan and fry the onion until just browned.

Make the Pepper Sauce. Whisk the mayonnaise and lemon juice together. Spread some butter on the buns. Spread the Mayonnaise mix on the buns. Place the tomato slices to neatly cover the buns. Sprinkle with salt to taste. Place the lettuce leaf on the tomato. Then comes the patty, onion rings, Pepper Sauce and lastly the cheese.

Cover with the other bun, and enjoy this fabulous Pepper-Cheese Burger!!

Leave the bun for a low-carb version:

We used normal brown bread - lack of buns... just let the bread dry out a little before you start adding the toppings, to make it a little firmer. O, and we used store-bought patties and buns for time saving' sake, but home-made patties and home-made buns are best!

Yours in oil and veggies
