  Did this last night, with a couple of amendments (or chats, depending on your point of view!). I used ready-shaped burgers from the supermarket (the better-than-average range) as I had some in the freezer to use up. We ended up toasting the mini naan breads in the toaster then splitting as we hadn't thought to fire up the outdoor grill and our cooker's grill is useless. For the topping, I just couldn't bear the thought of sour cream dip so instead I mixed up half-fat creme fraiche with a heaping teaspoon of horseradish and some freshly snipped chives from my windowsill plants. Served with sweet potato chips (the creme fraiche/horseradish sauce works well with these too) and it was great ... my husband ate three of them.

  Interesting twist to the "Aussie Burger!!". Being an Australian myself have never had rocket on my burger, sour cream or had naan bread used. But I am sure it tastes fantastic. But nonetheless I am sure that I will give them ago for the family.

  The burgers were great - a lesson in less is more! Whenever I've made burgers before it's been with flour and egg. I thought these might collapse or break up, but they were perfect. Using naan bread was also good idea - far better than bland soft rolls. I added the beetroot to a side salad rather than topping the burgers, but that just seemed right for the time. Roll on summer barbecues!!

  Not exactly what I would call an Aussie Burger.. As an Aussie, burgers from my childhood, would be served in burger rolls, be bought from the store (Sainsbury be good to yourself range are very close to what we have back home), the burger would be topped with fried onions, pickled beetroot, a pineapple ring, fried egg and a slice of cheese, also a slice of tomato and some iceberg lettuce. The challenge of the burger was to eat it without utensils (ie with your hands) and not get it all down your shirt :)

  This burglet(1/2 a burger) sounds delish, however, I do agree with other aussies (being one myself) no burger is complete without the pickled beetroot, tomato, cucumber, lettuce, fried onions or whatever else you wish to use, generally trying to avoid the drips from the beetroot and tomato relish or sauce!!! The fun of the Aussie Burger!!! By the way, to the mince, mix in some finely chopped parsley, minced onion and some fresh breadcrumbs (to make it go further), ground sea salt and ground black pepper, very nice indeed.

  @cerrynn. Sorry, but apart from the nan bread, most of what you've described seems to be a different recipe. Bit like saying: (exaggeration, but...) "Didn't have pork, so I used chicken, and substituted the chanterelle mushrooms for a tin of baked beans"... As to the 'drips-on-the-shirt' bit, as you're "Down Under" wouldn't the best accessory to this be a hammock? Simply lie face down across, 2 or three abreast (OK, two, when you've eaten a couple) and gorge, whilst you proudly remember that all the dripping fat is directed at Frozen Britain. You lucky so-and-so's! ;-) (Alternatively, do what I do. Allocate a T-shirt for barbies. Like the grill, it never, ever gets washed. That'd be utter sacrilege)!
