Mini-burger Kit
Aah,who doesn’t love a mini-burger? Not sure why they haven’t become a standard pub menu offering (in the US the “Slider” equivalent is ubiquitous). Here in the UK the poor things are relegated to Christmas party/trendy after-show party menus (up there with mini roast dinners, mini fish and chips, etc. etc.) - which is frankly just not fair to those of us who do not attend either type of party on a regular basis.
Luckily, you can easily DIY them at home. Here’s your mini-burger kit:
1) a dozen mini dinner rolls (Waitrose carry them)
2) 500g Angus steak mince (molded into 12 40g patties)
3) 12 small square slices of mature cheddar
4) 1 large pickle, sliced thinly
5) 4 cherry tomatoes, sliced
6) a handful of rocket leaves
7) Ketchup
Grill the burgers for a couple minutes on each side, then add a slice of cheese on top of each and grill a further minute or so. Assemble the burgers: with the remaining ingredients. Secure with a cocktail stick.
There’s nothing stopping you experimenting with other types of “sliders”: turkey or veggie burgers, grilled chicken, lamb, etc.
