1 hour
Serves 4

These bowls are all the good things about the cheeseburger – the sauce, the gherkins, the chips, the patty and the gooey cheese – supersized into a hearty, fresh bowl.

Method

Slice your potatoes into thin chips with the skin on, drizzle with olive oil and season well with salt and pepper. Put them in the air fryer and cook on 200°C for 20 minutes, or bake in a preheated oven on 200°C fan for 40 minutes, shaking halfway through.

Heat up a little oil in a frying pan and add the beef mince with the minced garlic and fry for 5 minutes until cooked through.

Add your onions to a frying pan with a teaspoon of sugar and the white wine vinegar and fry for 15–20 minutes over a low heat to caramelize.

Add your mushrooms to a separate frying pan with a little salt and fry for 5 minutes until soft.

Cut up your iceberg lettuce and divide across 4 bowls. Layer the beef mince on top then add the chips, caramelized onions, mushrooms, tomatoes and gherkins. Scatter the mozzarella over the top.

Make up the burger sauce by adding the ingredients to a jug and mixing. Drizzle the sauce over everything and serve!
