To make the burgers, mix together all the ingredients and knead well so everything is thoroughly mixed. Separate the mix into 6, roll each into a large ball, then shape into burgers (see photos, right).

Ingredients you will need

Roll

Put them in the fridge and, if possible, leave to chill for at least 1 hr. They can be made up to 2 days ahead.

To cook the burgers, get the barbecue good and hot with the coals glowing. You dont need to add any oil to the burgers.

Ingredients you will need

Cooking Oil

Put them on the barbecue and leave for a few mins until the edges start to colour, then slide a fish slice under the burgers and turn over. Repeat the process, then turn again.

Recommended wine: Malbec, Merlot, Zinfandel

Malbec, Merlot, and Zinfandel are great choices for Burger. Merlot will be perfectly adequate for a classic burger with standard toppings. Bolder toppings call for bolder wines, such as a malbec or peppery zinfandel. The Zuccardi Aluvional Altamira Malbec with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 90 dollars per bottle.
