packet of mixed herbs (or which ever herbs you like)
sachet of Cajun spice (or alternative)
salt (although not needed) & pepper
1 small onion, or onion powder.
Preparation
Dice the onion as fine as you like and brown it off in a pan with a little olive oil, and then put to one side.
Get a pack of minced meat and put this into a mixing bowl. Add a pinch of mixed herbs, and a pinch of cajun spice the onion and the salt and pepper. Remember not to add to much of as you can always add more later.
Mix together well with your hand or a spoon. To test taste the mixture put a small amount into a frying pan and cook for a few minutes. If you feel theres not enough add some more of the ingredients.
You can also add garlic or chilly powder for extra spice if you like things hot.
Next get some tin foil and cut into squares of 6-7 inches or so, and coat each square with a small amount of olive oil. Get a small amount of the mixture in your hand and make into a ball to roughly the size of a golf ball in the palm of your hands.
Place the ball into the centre of the tin foil square and squash this down into a round shape onto the tin foil with your hand or a spoon. If you want larger burgers just use more of the mixture and cut larger squares of tin foil.
To be able to cook these on the BBQ, you will need to seal the meat in a dry or lightly oiled frying pan first. Simply heat the frying pan up, holding the tin foil with your fingers and the burger on the palm of your hand, flip the tin foil with the burger on into the pan. Cook for a few seconds then peel back the tin foil off the burger. It will come off quite easily due to the olive oil.
When its lightly cooked and the meat is sealed flip this over and cook the other side, you are then ready to BBQ.
