THE DILF BURGER: BEEF WCRUSTITH A SALT AND PEPPER

to make the DILF burger you will need:

• 500g lean beef mince
• 4 bacon rashers
• 70g peppercorns (we used a mixture of pink and black)
• a good grind of salt
• 250g button mushrooms, sliced
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 1 large tomato, sliced
• 25g Philadelphia Lightest (you can have 110g as a healthy extra, so up to you if you bother synning such a small amount divided by four)
• 80g reduced fat cheddar cheese, cut into four slices (2x HeA)
• 4 wholemeal buns (4x HeB)
• 2 big handfuls of rocket (or any salad leaf you want)

top tips to make the DILF burger

• a pestle and mortar for the pepper is best but if you haven’t got one or can’t be arsed you could use a grinder, or alternatively bash it with the end of a rolling pin
• a good oil mister is perfect for this one – this is what we recommend
• you can cook this in a frying pan, under the grill or with a fancy gadget – we used an Optigrill for oursand used the ‘Burger’ button for a perfect rare burger. A George Foreman grill will do the job too!
• wholemeal rolls look really shit in a photo. We used a brioche for purely photographic purposes – if you use a brioche bun, syn them (ASDA’s are about eight syns)

to make the DILF burger you should

• heat a saucepan over a high heat and spray in a little oil
• add the mushrooms and onions and fry for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently
• remove from the heat and set aside
• use a pestle and mortar (or a grinder) to grind the peppercorns and the salt to a coarse consistency and carefully pour onto a plate
• next, tip the mince into a large bowl and knead for a little bit to help mix it up and easier to shape
• divide the mince into four and form into burgers (see Top Tips above)
• gently press each burger in the peppercorns until well coated – don’t forget the edges! if the mince is dry, give a quick spritz with some oil to help it stick
• spray a large frying pan with oil and place on a high heat or use a grill (see Top Tips above) and cook the burgers to your liking, then remove to a plate
• in the same pan, chuck in the bacon and cook until done
• making sure the mushrooms and onions have cooled a bit, add the philly and give a good stir
• split the rolls and add a quarter of the mushroom mix to each bun
• top with a burger, slice of cheese, bacon, tomato and rocket
• cram into gob and turn into poo
