Method
Prepare your BBQ for the Direct method with medium-high heat.
To make burgers, combine all the ingredients, except for the oil, into a large mixing bowl. Use your hands to scrunch everything together so that the onion and flavourings are evenly distributed. Shape into 6 patties, making them as neat as you can, and about 2.5cm-3cm thick.
Brush each burger lightly with oil and arrange them on your BBQ.
Cook for 4 minutes and then turn them over. Continue to cook until they are done the way you like them. This will depend on the heat of the grill, the thickness of the burger and, of course, personal preference.
Serve everything in the middle of the table so your guests can build their own burgers, the way they like them.
