Cooking Steps
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Chop the onion. Peel the garlic and set aside half for later use, then crush or mince the rest. Peel or thoroughly wash the potatoes and then slice them into rounds of 0.5cm thickness. Transfer to a pot or saucepan and submerge with water. Boil the potatoes for 6 - 7 minutes, covered, then drain.
Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the potatoes for 7 minutes until golden-brown. Add the minced garlic, along with half each of the onion and and balsamic vinegar. Fry for 3 more minutes, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.
Dice the tomato and chop the basil into ribbons, then transfer both to a bowl. Add the extra virgin olive oil and the rest of the balsamic vinegar, then toss well to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then set aside.
Cut the cucumber into thin matchsticks and transfer to a salad bowl. Add the mustard and white balsamic vinegar, along with half of the mayonnaise. Mix well, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper, then set aside. In a bowl, combine the mince with the rest of the onion. Shape this mixture into a burger patty.
Cut open the burger bun and toast in the oven for 4 - 5 minutes. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the burger for 2 minutes per side, then top with the grated cheese. Reduce the heat and cover with the lid so as to allow the cheese to melt.
Rub the insides of the burger bun with the reserved garlic. Spread with the rest of the mayonnaise, then add the burger patty and the bruschetta topping. Serve the burger with the cucumber salad and potato rounds alongside.
Did you know.. tomatoes are high in vitamins A, C and E, as well as lycopene, an antioxidant which protects our cells against damage. The riper the tomato, the richer in lycopene!
