- Divide the meat mixture into equal portions and shape them into burgers.
- Chill for 20 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Mix all the ingredients for the tomato salsa while you wait.
- Grill under a pre-heated medium grill or on the barbecue for 6-8 minutes each side, turning once, until the meat is done and all the juices run clear.

Notes
For another savoury variation, substitute fried onion with the same amount of Feta cheese, crumbled.
The burgers can be served accompanied with a great variety of salsas, chutneys or relishes.
