🍔 The Savvy Golden Burger

A juicy, spiced burger stacked high with golden kraut, melting cheese, and a punchy Sriracha-mayo glaze.

• 🔥 Serve: Hot burger with Cold kraut topping

• ✨ Probiotic Status: Stirred through at the end (as a topping)

• Ingredients:

1. The Patty: 250g high-quality beef mince (or a thick plant-based patty)

2. The Spices: ½ tsp cumin, ½ tsp ground coriander, and a pinch of salt/pepper.

3. The Bun: 1 Brioche bun (toasted)

4. The Cheese: 1 thick slice of Monterey Jack or Mild Cheddar

5. The Savvy Sauce: 1 tbsp Mayonnaise mixed with 1 tsp Sriracha (adjust for heat)

6. The Star: 3 tbsp Turmeric Curry kraut

7. The Fresh Bits: 1 thick slice of beef tomato and a leaf of butter lettuce

• Method:

1. The Patty: In a bowl, gently mix the mince with the cumin and coriander. Shape into a thick patty. Make a small thumb-indent in the middle (this stops the burger from "doming" while cooking).

2. The Sear: Heat a cast-iron pan or BBQ to high. Cook the patty for 3–4 mins per side.

3. The Melt: Once you flip the burger, place the cheese slice on top. Cover the pan with a lid for 30 seconds to get the cheese completely molten.

4. The Toast: Lightly butter the brioche bun and toast it in the same pan until golden.

5. The Build: * Spread the Sriracha Mayo on both the top and bottom bun.

• Place the lettuce and tomato on the bottom.

• Add the cheesy patty.

6. The Savvy Step: Pile a huge, cold mountain of Turmeric Curry kraut directly onto the melting cheese. The cold crunch against the hot beef is the secret to this burger.

Serve with sweet potato fries.
