Instructions

1Carefully assemble the processor with the grey spindle and green S-blade in the bowl. Add the beef and process until evenly minced. Add the salt and pepper and process until the beef is minced to your liking.
2Remove the blade from the bowl. Divide the beef into 8 even portions and shape each portion into a 6cm patty.
3Carefully, reassemble in the clean processor bowl the grey spindle and green S-blade. Add the onion and process until finely chopped, scraping down the side occasionally. Remove and set aside.
4Assemble the processor with the grey spindle and orange adjustable slicer set on 4 in the bowl and slice the tomatoes. Remove and set aside.
5Adjust the slicer to 2 and slice the pickles.
6Remove the pickles from the bowl leaving 4 slices and any off cuts in the bowl. Set aside the nice slices. Carefully place the green S-blade on the spindle and process to chop the pickles.
7Add all the sauce ingredients to the processor bowl and process until well combined, scraping down the side occasionally. Remove and set aside.
8Split the brioche buns in half and spread with butter.
9Place a large skillet or heavy-based frying pan over high heat. Add the oil, when hot add the patties and cook until golden brown. Turn and place the cheese on top of each patty. Continue cooking until the patties are cooked to your liking. Remove from the pan and wipe the pan clean.
10Place the pan over medium heat and toast the buns, cut side down, in batches, until golden brown.
11Spread a little sauce over the base of each bun. Top with lettuce, tomatoes, patties, pickles, more sauce and onion. Finish off with the bun top.
