Smash Dumplings

MAKES 12 | 15 MINS PREP | 15 MINS COOK TIME

INGREDIENTS

Premium beef mince

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

½ onion, diced

1 garlic clove

4 slices tasty Cheddar cheese

½ iceberg lettuce, shredded

12 dumpling wrappers

1 Tbsp finely chopped chives

Burger sauce

3 Tbsp mayonnaise

3 Tbsp tomato sauce

½ Tbsp American mustard

2 Tbsp dill pickles, diced

2 tsp brine from the pickle jar

METHOD

To make the sauce, mix all ingredients together and put aside.

Lightly season the mince in a large bowl.

Press and flatten a small ball of mince onto one side of each dumpling wrapper. Get it as thin as possible on the wrapper.

Preheat the pan over a high heat.

Drizzle with oil and place the dumpling wrappers in, mince side down. Gently flatten each one with a spatula.

Leave for a minute or two until starting to brown, then flip.

Place a small slice of cheese on top of the mince and place a lid on the pan for 30 seconds or so until the cheese has melted and the bottom is golden and crisp.

Top with the shredded lettuce, diced onion and a little of the burger sauce and serve.
