Preparation Instructions

For the basil mayonnaise:
In a small bowl mix the mayo, lemon juice and basil together and set aside.

For the burgers:
In a large bowl combine all the burger ingredients excluding the vegetable oil (which is used for frying). Form into 6 thick firm burgers.

In a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat, add the vegetable oil. When hot, add the patties and cook for 4 minutes each side or until nicely browned. Cook in batches if necessary so as not to overcrowd, using 1 tablespoon of oil at a time.

To assemble the burgers, spread some of the mayo on each bun and top with a patty, followed by lettuce and tomato, if using.
