Burgers with a Red Cabbage & Carrot Slaw

Make the hamburgers by combining all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Mix well with your hands until it is completely mixed through. Divide the meat into 6 equal parts. Take a portion of the meat and form it into a ball. Place it on the counter top and start to flatten it until you have a burger that is about 5 inches in diameter Remember, they shrink in cooking. Repeat this for all burgers and then stack them, separating each burger with parchment paper. Wrap and refrigerate for a few hour before cooking.

Make the slaw. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil. vinegar, mustard, sugar, salt & pepper and stir well. Add the cabbage and carrots and toss well to completely coat. cover and refrigerate.

Using a gas barbecue, preheat your barbecue to high heat for about 5 minutes. Place all the burgers evenly out over the grill and put the lid down. Cook for about 6-7 minutes and then flip the burgers over. I like to flatten them slightly as they cook. Cook the other side for about 5 minutes and then add the cheese to each burger. Place all your buns on the barbecue at this stage as well. When the cheese is melted, about one minute, remove all the burgers and buns.

Serve together with the crunchy slaw.
