Family friendly gluten free cheeseburgers with a super fast relish and quick onion rings. Serves 2 as a double cheeseburger, or 4 as a single burger.

Ingredients
- 1 kg good quality butcher mince

- 1 tsp CAMPFIRE BBQ RUB
- 1 tsp salt or to taste
- Black pepper – freshly ground

- 3 Gluten Free Burger buns, split and griddled .(1.5 bun per serve)
- Onion rings to serve – see recipe below
Directions
- Combine the first 8 ingredients, and mix well to combine. divide into four and shape into patties. We like to depress each patty with a slight hollow, this allows easier stacking when cooked. Chill for 30 mins,
- Cook the burgers – we like them still pink and juicy on the inside. So about 4 minutes each side on a moderate heat – or to taste.
- Melt the cheese onto the burgers and two halves of the toasted buns.
- Build the burger in this order
- Base of bun
- Iceberg lettuce
- SPICY CHIMICHURRI sauce – drizzle over lettuce

SMOKEY RELISH
- 1 large onion – peeled, halved, and sliced
- 1 large jar of chargrilled capsicums - sliced
- 1 tbs white wine or white balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbs white sugar
- 1 tbs CAMPFIRE BBQ RUB
Directions
Saute the onion until soft and golden, add the capsicum and the other ingredients, stir well and cook for a further 4- 5 minutes. The liquid should have mostly evaporated. Any leftover relish will keep in the fridge for 2 weeks.
Onion Rings
If you use our Chimichurri Crumb or our Korean Fried Chicken Mix and have ever wondered what to do with the last bit in the bag – here’s the perfect way to use it up. It’s a very loose recipe so use your judgement to gauge the ratios
- Chimichurri Crumb or KFC mix
- Onion – peeled and sliced into thick rings
- Oil for frying – we used a deep frying pan with about 2 inches of oil.
- Heat the oil.
- Toss the onion into the crumb mix – remove the onions and set aside.
- Mix a little water into the crumb mix until a very thick batter is made. Go easy with the water. The batter needs to have a cake batter like consistency.
- Dip the onion rings one by one into the batter, then into the hot oil.
- Cook 2 minutes each side or until the batter is golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels, and serve immediately.
