• ½ red capsicum

  thinly sliced
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup mayonnaise

Instructions

• 1 Combine burger mixture in a bowl and mix through to incorporate. Make 4 round,
  flattened burger patties and set them aside. 
• 2 In a medium or large frying pan or a skillet, heat the oil over medium. Add the
  onions and salt cook for 5-6 minutes until softened and slightly caramelised.
  Finish with a drizzle of Balsamic and stir through. 
• 3 Pan-fry or grill the burger patties over medium-high heat for 3 minutes on the
  first side. Flip over, spread a tablespoon of ketchup on each and top with a few
  slices of Cheddar cheese. Cover with a lid and cook for 3-4 more minutes. The
  cheese should melt while the patties are cooking. You can also pop the skillet
  under the grill in the oven if it’s heatproof.
• 4 You can leave the patties in the pan or a skillet or transfer them to a platter
  with lettuce leaves and sliced tomatoes. Or have lettuce leaves and sliced
  tomatoes tucked on the side of the pan. Top each burger patty with grilled
  onions. You can sprinkle fried shallots or some chopped spring onions or even a
  little extra grated cheddar cheese.
• 5 While the burger patties are cooking or ahead of time, slice and grate the
  vegetables for the coleslaw. Whisk the dressing and mix through the salad until
  well coated. Serve alongside the burgers.
