Method
- Sauté the onion and red pepper until they are soft (about 10 minutes).
- Combine these with all the other ingredients and, using your hands, form into about 6 burgers.
- Mix together the sauce ingredients and brush the burgers with half the sauce.
- Place the burgers directly on the grill or use a hinged basket which holds the burgers between two wire racks. Cook for about 5 minutes on one side.
- Turn, brush with the remaining sauce and barbecue for 8 to 10 minutes or until cooked through (cooking time will vary according to type of barbecue). You could also cook these under a conventional grill.
- Serve in a bun with salad and ketchup.
