This is my own recipe.  It’s real comfort food. It would probably work best served with chunky chips.

This recipe will make four burgers; I will leave it up to you to decide how many people that will feed.

Ingredients

500g of mince meat

½ large onion, finely chopped

100g of breadcrumbs

1 egg

4-5 drops of tabasco sauce

3 tablespoons of olive oil

1 teaspoon of mustard

Salt and Pepper to season

2 tablespoons of tomato sauce

Flour to dust with

Sauce

2 teaspoons of mixed peppercorns

100ml of cream

½ bottle of wine (small bottle)

30ml of liquid stock

¼ onion, finely chopped

1 garlic clove crushed

Instructions

1. Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
2. Sauté the onions in a frying pan and set aside to cool.
3. Mix all the burger ingredients in a bowl and shape into patties using some flour to bind together.
4. Fry the burgers off in the olive oil, until still slightly undercooked.
5. Remove for heat and place in an oven dish with some kitchen paper to remove the excess grease.
6. Remove the paper from underneath and throw away.

Sauce

1. Meanwhile, using the same pan. Sieve the remaining oil in a bowl to remove the bits from the burger.
2. Put the oil back in the frying pan minus the bits and heat.
3. Fry off the onion and garlic (2-3 minutes).
4. Add in the pepper corns and add the wine. Cook for about a minute. Add the stock and reduce the heat slightly.
5. Add in the cream little by little, stirring all the time until it reaches a nice consistency. Season with salt and pepper and pour over the burgers.
6. Cover the burgers with tinfoil and place in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
