Beef Burger With Middle Bacon & Smoked Tomato Relish

Method

1. To make the relish, in a large heavy based saucepan over a 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 1 ½ hours with the lid on, storing 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 & 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 & melt under the griller, add the pickles, bacon & the smoked cherry tomato relish, serve with shoe string fries.
