Number Of Ingredients 12

600 g beef mince or 19 ounces ground beef
100 g pancetta or 3 ounces pancetta, rind removed, chopped
1/3 cup basil pesto (90g/3oz)
sea salt, to taste

  • Preheat the oven to 160°C/325°F/gas mark 3; heat a chargrill pan or cr barbecue over a medium heat; toss the onion in a little oil and grill for 1 minute on each side or until just cooked; place the onion in the oven to keep it warm; brush the tomatoes with a little oil and season them with salt and pepper , to taste; then grill the tomatoes for one minute on each side; place the tomatoes in the oven to keep them warm; mix the remaining pesto with the mayonnaise.
  • Brush both sides of the patties with oil; cook the patties on the chargrill for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are cooked through; top the patties with bocconcini and place them in the oven for 1 minutes or until the cheese melts.
  • Spread the bread-roll bases with some of the mayonnaise mixture; top with rocket, patties, onion and tomato; drizzle with the remaining mayonnaise mixture and top with the remaining bread-roll halves.

These burgers were a bit too spicy for my liking, but my husband loved them. Next time I'll use a milder chili powder.

I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I had to omit the sun-dried tomatoes. The burgers were still delicious, but I missed that extra tang.

The Tuscan Burgers were a bit dry. I think adding some extra moisture, such as Worcestershire sauce or an egg, could improve the texture.

These burgers were a bit too salty for my taste. I might try reducing the amount of Parmesan cheese next time.

I'm not a huge fan of burgers, but the Tuscan Burgers were a game-changer. The burst of flavors from the sundried tomatoes and basil was incredible. I'll be making these regularly! ?
