Next, add the onions and parsley, and a few drizzles of extra virgin olive oil (about half a tablespoon). Mix well to combine.

Shape your minced mixture into burger patties. Try to leave them slightly thick if you like a rustic look and consistency.

In the meantime, cut your tomatoes into medium thick slices. And prepare the parmesan shavings using a potato peeler.

And don’t forget to prepare your salad. You can season it now but we suggest you drizzle the extra virgin olive oil before serving it.

Once the burgers are ready, toast the buns in the oven under the grill.

It’s time to assemble. This is the way we layered them – start with the cheese slice, then layer the tomatoes, next drizzle some extra virgin olive oil, add the homemade burger batty, and finish with the parmesan shavings.

If you like it extra spicy, you can spread some hot chilli pepper spread on the top bun, otherwise you can replace it with ketchup.

Time to enjoy 🙂

Tips

If you like gherkins in your burger, we suggest trying replacing them with these Italian home-style zucchini. They really go hand in hand with the hot chilli pepper spread.
