Method
1. Fit the Mincer with the coarse

texture
pass through the screen again.
2. Add the herbs, lemon juice and rind and a generous sprinkling of
freshly ground black pepper. Using the K Beater at minimum speed,
mix the ingredients together.
3. Divide into 4 and with floured hands shape into thick burgers.
Either brush with oil and place under a
preheated grill for about 4 minutes on each side, or shallow fry
over a medium heat.
4. Meanwhile make the fried onion rings, dip the rings first
into the egg white and then into the flour.
Heat 2.5cm (1 inch) oil in a pan and fry for 1-2 minutes, until
golden.
5. Serve burgers garnished with onion rings accompanied by toasted
crusty bread, mixed salad
leaves and the remaining onion rings.
