    My family can get enough of these burgers, very easy to make and they taste so much better than shop brought ones, I add a splash of vinegar to the meat mixture just for the extra bite.

    The burgers were very nice, however the tomato sauce was....inappropriate for burgers! I couldnt understand how the two recipes would work together but went with it anyway, but i was proved correct. The sauce would be more suitable to a pasta dish than burgers and i would not recommend putting the two together as suggested in this recipe. Just a heads up for anyone thinking about it!

    I was a bit unsure of the capers and gherkins in this recipe (even though I like them in other things) but decided to give it a go and I''m glad I did - these burgers were a revelation! Amazing flavour and bite - this is the only beef burger I'll be making from now on. So much better than any of the 'finest'/'taste the difference' etc stuff you can buy. Give them a try! I didn't bother with the tomato sauce - I made a salsa instead from red onion, chopped tomato, chillis and coriander. The tomato sauce looks as if it would be good with this if you broke up the mixture and made it into meatballs.
