To assemble

Method

1.Preheat oven to 180°C.
2.Mix all pattie ingredients together in a bowl. Form into 8 patties.
3.Heat a heavy-based frying pan until hot and brown the patties on both sides. Place on a baking tray.
4.Bake for 4 to 5 minutes.
5.For the sauce, boil eggs for 5 minutes exactly, then run under cold water until cold. Peel carefully.
6.Place eggs, shallots, honey, tomato puree and stock in a food processor. Process to combine. With the motor running, gradually add oil while processing to form an emulsion.
7.Remove from food processor and add gherkins. Set aside.
8.Slice buns into 3. Add Mike’s Awesome Sauce, patty, lettuce and gherkin on each bun base. Repeat with a second patty on each bun middle. Finish with bun tops.

When you are in a hurry, throw together a toasted sandwich with any leftovers from the fridge – try one with lamb, kumara, pumpkin and some parmesan.
