Buddy's BBQ burgers

Use your clean hands to scrunch the beef mince together really well, then divide into 6 equal balls. Squash and shape them into burger patties, nice and tightly so they don't fall apart during cooking! Place them on a tray, cover, and leave them to rest in the fridge until you're ready to cook. Wash your hands.

Prepare your toppings. Slice the cheese. Slice the gherkins, using a crinkle-cut knife if you've got one to make them look really fun!

Finely slice or grate the red cabbage, place in a bowl and mix with 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar.

Shred up the iceberg lettuce and slice up the cucumber and place in another bowl.

You can cook the burgers on a hot barbecue or in a hot frying or griddle pan on the hob. Always get an adult to help you! Either way, they'll need 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Use a fish slice to turn them and cook in batches if your pan isn't big enough.

When the burgers are looking good, place a slice of cheese on top of each one, then cover the barbecue or pan for an extra 2 minutes, or until it's all melty and delicious.

Now, cut your burger buns in half and warm them alongside the burgers for 30 seconds or so, if using the barbecue.

Stack up your burgers in the buns with some gherkins on top. You can add a bit of lettuce and cucumber to the stack, and serve more on the side with the pickled red cabbage. Add a dollop of ketchup, if you like, squash the bun lids on and tuck in!
