Method
- 1
Mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle brine and paprika in a small bowl for the sauce.
- 2
Divide the mince into 8 balls of 75 g. Press each into a thin patty about 10 cm across, slightly wider than the middle of a bun, as they shrink. Make a shallow dip in the centre of each with your thumb. Season both sides with the salt, pepper and garlic granules. Keep cold.
- 3
Heat the barbecue to hot, or a grill pan over a high heat. Butter the cut sides of the buns and toast them for 1 minute on the cooler part until golden. Set aside.
- 4
Grill the patties for 2 to 3 minutes a side without pressing them, until deeply browned. Do not squash the burgers, as it squeezes out the juices. Lay a slice of cheese on each patty as you turn it, and close the lid for 30 seconds to melt it.
6 min - 5
Spread sauce on both halves of each bun. Layer lettuce, a patty, a second patty, onions and pickles, and top with the lid. Serve at once.
