Kudu & Pinotage Gourmet Burgers

I love a good burger, and my boyfriend makes the BEST burgers.  Here is his recipe:

Kudu and Pinotage Gourmet Burger

Patties:


500g Kudu Mince
1 garlic clove, grated
60ml water
1 egg
15ml Dijon mustard
10ml Worcester sauce
5ml salt
3ml black pepper

Pinotage Sauce:


100ml pinotage

30ml balsamic vinegar
45ml brown sugar
2ml fine cinnamon
2ml salt
2ml ground black pepper

Garnish:

Fresh rocket leaves

100g blue cheese, thinly sliced 
2 large onions, chopped

METHOD:

1. Mix mince and garlic, use your fingers and let the mince get loose
2. Mix a 20ml water, egg, mustard, worcester sauce, salt and pepper. 
3. Add this mixture to the mince, and add the remaining water as required.
4. Mix untill it is all incorporated, separate into individual portions wrapped in cling wrap and then let them cool in the fridge for 30mins. Use this time to prep your onions and mix the pinotage sauce.
5. Caramalise the onions, using butter or oil. 
6. For the pinotage sauce, simply mix all the ingredients together and set aside.
7. In another pan, heat oil and then put patties in.
8. Add the pinotage sauce,and allow to boil in order to reduce and turn into a thick sauce.
9. Turn burgers and coat with sauce until cooked as desired.
10. Place on a bun and garnish with caramalised onions, fresh rocket and blue cheese.
