1 T dried Italian herbs

For the patties:

1 large onion, finely diced
1 carrot, grated
1 medium potato, grated
2 T Woolworths steak rub

1. To make the giardiniera, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and stir through. Transfer to a sterilised jar and refrigerate until ready to use.

2. Combine all the ingredients for the burger patties in a bowl and mix well with your hands. Shape into 6 patties. Fry the patties in the olive oil until a golden-brown crust forms.

3. To assemble the burgers, spread a generous amount of burger mayo on each toasted burger bun. Top with rocket, tomato, a burger patty, red onion and the giardiniera.
