METHOD

• First, prepare the salsa. Heat the oil in a saucepan on medium heat. Sauté the onions for 5 minutes and then add the garlic. Sauté for another minute.
• Top and tail the bell pepper, deseed and cut into strips. Add to the onions and sauté for another 3 – 4 minutes, or until the peppers have softened. Add the tomatoes, paprika, chilli, vinegar, lime juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Give the mixture a good stir and continue cooking until the tomatoes have broken down. Stir in the chives. Turn the heat down to the lowest setting and keep the salsa warm.
• Heat a griddle pan on high heat. Brush the cut sides of the brioche buns with a little oil and lightly toast. Set aside.
• Brush the burger patties with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the burgers in the griddle pan and cook for 4 – 5 minutes, depending on how cooked you like your burgers. Try not to move them as they make stick to the griddle pan. Flip them over and cook for another 3 – 4 minutes.
• Add lettuce and tomato to each brioche bun (and any other fillings you fancy) and place a patty on top. Spoon over the warm salsa and add the top half of the bun.
