- 1 tsp mustard
- 1 free-range egg, lightly beaten
- 1 red chilli, finely chopped

- In a large bowl, mix together the mince, garlic, tomato ketchup, mustard, egg, chilli and onion.
- Dive in with your hands and mix until the ingredients are well blended.
- Just before cooking, add the spring onions and basil to the mixture and divide into four patties.
- Heat a little olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan and fry the burgers.
