Sage Burgers

This recipe expands on my normal burger recipe by adding fresh sage, which really takes the whole flavour experience to a new level. 

Ingredients:

• 1lb extra lean ground beef
• 1 egg
• 1cup large flake oatmeal
• 1 tbs grainy dijon mustard
• 2tsp (2 good glugs) worcestershire saunce
• 2tsp (2 good glugs) soy sauce
• 1tsp sea salt
• 1tsp pepper
• 1tbsp horseradish
• 1tsp montreal steak spice
• 1 medium onion finely diced
• 6 large sage leaves, finely chopped

Instructions:

Mash all ingredients together in a bowl.  Use your hands, get dirty.  I find it helps to coat my hands with olive oil before getting into it.  Work into patties of your desired size. I usually get 5 patties, some bigger, some smaller.  Make sure you mix it up well.  Grill on the bbq until desired doneness.  I do about 4 minutes a side, but BBQs and tastes vary. 

You won't believe how the sage just takes over when you get a nice chunk of it.  The burgers without the sage are excellent as well, dress them however you like.  I like BBQ sauce, mayo, avocado (guacamole), and banana pepper rings.  Blue cheese is also a favourite.
