Cheeseburger with caramelised onions
Item 1 of 1
This classic American cheeseburger recipe is given a rustic twist, as Marcus Wareing cooks up his version in toasted ciabatta and stuffs it with delicious, sweet, sticky caramelised onions. This is an excellent rendition of the classic beef burger, with fresh parsley, tarragon and garlic bringing extra flavour to the beef patties. Peppery rocket, creamy hummus and Emmental finish off this rich burger.
