Cooking Instructions
Before you start
- Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
- Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper
- Pull out a large frying pan, a medium bowl & 2 small bowls
Get the fries on & pickle the onion
- Cut the aubergines into fries
- Place the fries onto a lined baking tray and toss with 1/2 tsp oil and a pinch of salt and pepper
- Roast for 20-25 mins, until golden brown
- Meanwhile, peel the onion and thinly slice. Halve the limes
- Add the onion to the medium bowl, along with the juice from 1 lime and a pinch of salt. Mix and leave to pickle
Burger time
- Heat the large frying pan with 1/2 tsp oil on medium heat. Once hot, add the burgers and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2 mins per side. Transfer to the other lined baking tray, coat with the chermoula and bake for 10 mins, until cooked through
- Check your meat is cooked through; it should be golden brown, steaming hot, the juices should run clear when cut and there should be no pink / rare meat inside
Make the guacamole & harissa dip
- Roughly chop the coriander. Dice the avocados into 1cm chunks, then mash with the back of a fork and place into a small bowl. Add the coriander and a squeeze of lime juice (or to taste). Season with pinch of salt and pepper and mix well
- In the other small bowl, combine the yoghurt, half the harissa and the juice from the remaining lime
- Halve the tomatoes and add to the onion
Finish the burgers
- Drain most of the oil from the burger pan, then reheat on medium heat. Once hot, stir in the honey, the remaining harissa and a splash of water, bring to a boil, then remove from the heat
- Return the burgers to the pan and coat in the glaze
Plate up
- When everything is ready, add the rocket to the medium bowl and toss with the onion and tomato
- Serve the burgers onto plates, with the aubergine fries, guacamole, harissa dip and rocket salad on the side. Drizzle with any remaining harissa glaze
