Victoria Moore's recipe for burgers and slaw is super-simple and ready in under 30 minutes. The focus is on the quality of the beef, using a 20% fat mince to create a meltingly soft burger so good you can keep the rest simple.

Ingredients

good butcher’s beef mince 500g, about 15-20% fat
burger buns 4, toasted
good cheddar 100g, sliced
ketchup or mayo to serve

For the slaw

white cabbage ¼ small
red cabbage ¼ small
carrots 2 large, peeled
mayonnaise 3 tbsp
natural yogurt 3 tbsp
Dijon mustard ½ tsp

Method

Step 1

Mix the mince with some seasoning and leave to come to room temperature while you make the slaw. Slice both cabbages finely and put in a bowl. Grate the carrot coarsely and add to the cabbage. In a separate bowl, mix the mayonnaise, yogurt and mustard, season to taste, then stir into the cabbage mixture. Divide the mince into four, roll into balls and then squash into patties. Heat a heavy-based frying pan, and dry-fry the burgers for about 4 minutes on one side, flip, then cook for another 3 minutes, or longer if you prefer. Top with the sliced cheddar, grill until the cheese melts, then assemble the burgers in buns with tomato ketchup or mayonnaise if you like, and a dish of coleslaw.
