Instructions
To make the Monkeygland Sauce:
- Heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat.
- Fry the onion, garlic and chilli until the onion is soft and nicely browned.
- Add the Worcester Sauce, chutney, tomatoes, tomato paste, vinegar and brown sugar to the cooked onions and mix well.
- Continue to cook over a low heat until the sauce has reduced down to a jam-like consistency (about 15 to 20 minutes).
- Remove from the heat and let the sauce cool down while you make the burgers.
To make the burgers:
- Combine the mince, onion and garlic in a mixing bowl.
- Soak the bread in the milk and then gently squeeze out any excess milk.
- Add the bread mixture to the mince and season with salt and pepper.
- Knead the mixture together with your hands until well incorporated.
- Mould the mixture into 6 patties. The mixture is very wet but if handled carefully they will hold together nicely.
- Using a small amount of sunflower oil, fry gently until cooked.
- Assemble burgers, using additional extras and top with a generous helping of Monkeygland sauce.
