It's not that difficult to make your own burger patty, and you should definitely try it on #NationalBurgerDay

This burger patty is the perfect South African classic and has ostrich mince as the main ingredient.

Preferably you would want to prepare these burgers on the braai, but if you can't wait to fire up the coals you can make these burgers on the stove top

- 1 egg

- 80 ml chopped coriander

- olive oil for cooking

- 4 panini buns

Method

- Combine mince, onion, garlic, spices, sweet chilli, breadcrumbs, egg and coriander and mix well.
