Instructions
Home-made Sesame Buns
- Mix and combine the luke-warm water, sugar and yeast. Stir to dissolve and set aside until the yeast is active.
- Combine the flour, salt with the yeast mixture, and add in the egg and butter. Knead for about 5 minutes, until the dough is spring-y when touched. Let rise in a warm place, covered with a kitchen towel.
- When doubled in size, knock back and roll into individual rolls. Line on a baking tray and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Pre-heat the oven to 190deg, sprinkle the buns with sesame and bake the buns until golden brown. About 15 minutes.
Sweet and spicy chutney
- Add 1 tbs of the sun-dried olive oil and fry off the garlic, peppercorn and chili’s. Add in the chopped sun-dried tomato and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add in the crushed tomato with Basil and add in the white-wine vinegar, which will give a slightly sweet flavor to the sauce. Add a splash of water if it looks a little dry and the sugar.
- Cook the sauce until sticky and store in a clean jar.
Burgers
- For the burgers, lightly combine all the ingredients together and set aside for at least 15 minutes to let all the flavours infuse.
- When ready and starving to eat, lightly drizzle your favourite Colavita Olive oil (truffle or garlic infused is my fav!) on the hot grill.
- Place the burgers on the grill and cook to your liking — about 3 minutes either side for me, because I like my burgers fat
- Place your burger on the home-made buns (you can lightly grill these on the same grill ) and place your favourite toppings on the burger – chutney and egg (cause I’m an Aussie)
