Step 1
Make the burgers: Tip the meat into a bowl and sprinkle over 1 tsp salt and a good grinding of black pepper.Work with wet hands to mix in the seasoning. Divide into four with your hands and shape into burgers. (It can be frozen at this stage.)
3 minutesTaste as you go and adjust seasoning gradually — you can always add more but can't take it away.Step 2
Sort out your ingredients: Slice the beetroot and split the naan breads.
5 minutesKeep your fingers curled under (claw grip) for safety when cutting.Step 3
Toast the naans: Heat a griddle pan or barbecue. Griddle the naans on both sides until lightly toasted and set aside. Add the burgers to the grill or barbecue and cook for 2-3 minutes, then turn and cook the other side for a further 2-3 minutes.
10 minutesOil the grill grates before placing food to prevent sticking.Step 4
Assemble the dish: Set half a toasted naan on each serving plate and put a pile of rocket on each. Top with a burger, then a few slices of beetroot and a dollop of soured cream. Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper and serve immediately with a big green salad and chips. A glass of red wine wouldn’t go amiss, either.
