METHOD

1
First, preheat the oven to 200 °C, prepare a baking sheet and line it with baking paper.
2
Clean the vegetables for fries, peel them, and cut them into fry shapes. Place on the baking sheet, add oil, and salt. Mix and bake for 40–50 minutes at 195–200 °C.
3
Meanwhile, prepare the dip in a small bowl: Mix yogurt with mustard and chives. Season with salt and pepper, stir, and let chill in the refrigerator.
4
Once the vegetables are halfway through baking, prepare the meat: Grate the carrot into a large bowl, finely chop the onion, and press the garlic. Add the minced meat and season with salt and pepper. Mix the mixture and form 5 equally sized burgers (approximately 1 cm larger in diameter than the buns).
5
Next, heat oil in a large pan over high heat (approx. 1 minute). Once the oil is hot, place the burgers in the pan and fry for 2–3 minutes* on each side over medium to high heat. Remove the cooked meat from the heat and let rest for 1–2 minutes.
6
Meanwhile, cut the buns in half and spread dressing on both halves. Place lettuce, 2 tomato slices, and the rested burger on the bottom half of each bun. Cover with the top half of the bun and serve with fries and extra dressing.
7
*Cooking time in the pan depends on the thickness of the meat, which is determined by the bun's diameter – it is therefore possible that the meat will be cooked sooner or will need more time in the pan.

TIP

1
Great tip for a healthier fries option. If vegetable fries don't suit you (although we highly recommend them), go back to classic potato fries – but prepared this way.
