Method

  1. Heat oven to 230C/210C fan/gas 8. Toss the potatoes and pepper with 1 tbsp oil and 1 tsp herbs on a large baking tray. Roast for 25 mins, turning once, until the chips are golden and the pepper soft.
  2. Meanwhile, mix the mince, two-thirds of the garlic, the paprika, egg, remaining herbs and seasoning in a bowl. Shape into 4 burgers. Can now be frozen. Heat a frying pan, add 1 tsp oil, then cook for 15 mins, turning halfway. Mix the mayonnaise with the remaining garlic.
  3. Season the chips. Serve the burgers in buns with lettuce, onion, red pepper and garlic mayo with the chips alongside.

Tip

Look for tins of smoked paprika - we used La Chinata, from Sainsbury's or delicatessens. It has a deep, smoky, warm flavour and comes in sweet (dulce) or hot (picante) varieties, so pick whichever you prefer.

Try making it with sausages: Spicy hot dogs

Mix 2 crushed garlic cloves, the paprika, 1 tsp herbs and 1 tbsp oil with 1 tsp clear honey and 2 tbsp ketchup. Tip into a roasting tin, toss 8 sausages in the sauce, then roast for 20-25 mins, turning a few times, until cooked. Serve in buns.

    This looks lovely, and i will be making them, my only querie is the Red Peppers in the picture look as though they have been cooked over the gas ring, or roasted to give them that charred effect but there is no mention of this in the recipe, does anyone else agree with this????

    Hi Jooles I agree these look lovely. With regard to Red Peppers, it says at point 1 roast peppers with potatoes...... ;-)

    really tasty and juicy...but I would suggest being very liberal with the paprika as my burgers were lacking that extra kick!!
