Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the sweet potatoes onto a baking tray and drizzle with a glug of olive oil. Sprinkle the potatoes with Masala Rub and season with salt and pepper. Place the tray in the oven and leave to roast for 30 - 40 minutes until golden and crispy. To make the relish, place all of the relish ingredients into a baking dish and toss together until well combined. Place the dish in the oven (180°C) and allow the relish to roast for half an hour, until softened and lightly caramelized. In a large bowl, combine all the burger patty ingredients and mix well.
Using your hands, shape the seasoned mince into 4 generous patties. Place a little oil in a pan and gently fry the patties on both sides until they
are well browned on the outside and cooked to your liking on the inside. Serve your burger on a lightly toasted and buttered ciabatta or burger roll with fresh rocket and topped with a generous dollop of tomato relish. Sprinkle the sweet potato chips with extra salt and serve piping hot with your burger. Serves:4 TIP: For an added veggie fix, combine the sweet potato with butternut or for good old fashioned potato chips, see NoMU Recipe Mailer # 21.
Wine suggestions
Jam Jar Sweet Shiraz, R40 Pick n Pay. I admit it’s the
packaging that first attracted me to this gorgeous looking wine but I’m
happy to say it tastes as good as it looks. It’s not as heavy as your usual
Shiraz choices but it’s complex enough to cope with all the goodies that
go with the perfect burger like this one. I’d recommend it slightly chilled.
