This combination is classic and when sandwiched in the middle of a burger with all the trimmings it adds a delicious twist to the mighty burger!

Serves 4

Ingredients

1 head cauliflower

Olive oil

Pinch chilli

¼ tsp cumin seeds

1 lemon, juice

2 sprigs thyme, leaves only

4 burger buns

4 slices tasty cheese

4 Tbsp  mayonnaise

2 tsp english mustard

4 crisp lettuce leaves approx. (iceberg or cos)

1 red onion, sliced thinly

Pinch sugar

Pinch salt

Method

Begin by preparing all your ingredients for your burger.

Slice the cauliflower across so you get thick steak like slices.

Put into a dish and drizzle with olive oil, chilli, squeeze lemon juice and thyme leaves. Allow to marinate until you have all the components ready.
Heat the bbq up to medium hot.

Slice the bun in half and set aside.

Mix the mayonnaise with the mustard and set aside.

Wash and pat dry the lettuce, slice the cheese and set aside.

Put the finely sliced red onion in a small bowl, add a pinch sugar and salt and squeeze over the a little lemon juice, toss to combine and set aside.

When ready cook the cauliflower steaks on the hot bbq. They should take 3-5 minutes on each side. Season lightly with salt and cracked black pepper.

Add a slice of cheese to each slice of cauliflower and allow to melt.

Lightly toast the bun on the bbq.

Spread over the mayonnaise and mustard mixture on each bun. Layer with lettuce on the bottom, add the grilled, cheesy cauliflower steak and pickled onions. Finish by adding the lid and pressing slightly to help stick your burger  together.

Enjoy!
