Instructions

• 1 Onions:
  
  Heat coconut and olive oil over medium heat in a medium pan. Add the onions,
  chilli and salt and sauté over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring a few
  times.
• 2 Beef burgers:
  
  In a bowl, mix together the beef mince, grated garlic, spices, salt and pepper.
  Use your hands to work through the meat to make sure the flavours are well
  incorporated. Make 6 small or 4 larger patties, flatten them and set aside. Heat
  a dollop of coconut oil in a large skillet and add the patties. Cook for 4
  minutes each side, then remove to a plate and set aside.
• 3 Bring a small saucepan of water to boil.
• 4 Back to onions:
  
  Once the onions have softened up and turned golden brown, add the rest of
  ingredients and stir through. Cook for another minute or two, stirring
  frequently. Then set aside.
• 5 Make the salad:
  
  Add the green beans to boiling water and cook for 2 minutes. Then strain and
  rinse under cold water until cool. Dice up (I cut each in three parts) and add
  to a bowl with cucumber, avocado and tomatoes. Add a little sea salt, pepper,
  lime juice, coriander seed powder and olive oil and combine.
• 6 Serve the patties topped with the jerk onions and the salad on the side.
