Step-by-step method

  1. 01
    Place mince, onions and Cajun seasoning in a large bowl. Season, mix well and form into 4 patties. Heat a large lightly oiled non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook burgers for 3-4 minutes each side or until cooked to your liking. Set aside on a plate loosely covered with foil. Lightly spray eggplant with oil. Reheat same pan over medium-high heat and cook eggplant, in batches, if necessary, for 1-2 minutes each side or until lightly browned. Set aside on a plate lined with paper towel.

    In a small bowl combine yogurt and coriander. Season.
  3. 03
    Divide patties, tomatoes, pickles and eggplant between 4 lettuce leaves. Top with yoghurt. Serve with remaining lettuce leaves, any remaining yoghurt, coriander sprigs and sweet potato fries.

Chef's tips

  • Instead of mince sprinkle rump or minute steak with seasoning, and serve sliced in lettuce leaves.
  • Moroccan or lemon pepper seasoning or fresh/dried herbs would also be great in the beef patties.
  • Swap yoghurt for whole egg mayonnaise, if desired.
