Beef Burger With Middle Bacon & Smoked Tomato Relish

Method

1. To make the relish, in a large heavy-based saucepan over medium heat, sauté the onions and garlic in the olive oil until soft and fragrant. Add the smoked paprika and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Add the cherry tomatoes, water, brown sugar, tomato paste, and black pepper, stir well to combine. Reduce heat to a very gentle simmer.
3. Allow to simmer covered for 1½ hours with the lid on, stirring occasionally. Remove the lid and continue to simmer for a further 20–30 minutes or until the relish is a thick consistency. Taste and season with sea salt.
4. Heat a grill pan over medium heat or a BBQ plate and cook the burgers for 4–5 minutes on each side until cooked through. While they’re cooking, add the bacon to the pan. Toast the buns.
5. Place the sliced mozzarella cheese on the burger and melt under the griller. Add the pickles, bacon, and the smoked cherry tomato relish. Serve with shoe string fries.

1. Store the cherry tomato relish pre-sterilised jars or keep in the fridge for one week.
