About

Don’t be afraid of the ingredients list on this recipe – I know it seems long, but these are well worth making and cook beautifully on the grill (broiler) so are perfect to take along to barbecues. This is the burger (with improvements) from Happy Food. They freeze really well, and last a good 4–5 days in the fridge and can be made fresh.
