  • 1 TBSP SNIPPED FRESH SAGE OR 2 TSP DRIED SAGE
  • A FEW DASHES OF WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE

Method

Place the mince, grated Parmigiano Reggiano and sage in a bowl. Add the Worcestershire sauce and sea-son well, then use your hands to mix together.
Divide the mixture into four, then shape each piece into neat round burger. Chill until ready to cook.
To make the mayonnaise dip: mix the mayonnaise, mustard and finely grated Parmigiano Reggiano together and spoon into a bowl.
Heat a griddle pan, and when hot, add the burgers. Cook for 6 minutes, turning once the burgers are nicely char-grilled and the juices are no longer pink inside.
Toast the buns, then spread a spoonful of the Parmigiano Reggiano mayo dip over the base of each.
Top the burger with lettuce, tomatoes and onion, and then shavings of Parmigiano Reggiano and finally the bun lid. Serve the rest of the mayonnaise as a dip for sweet potato or skinny fries.
