To make the patty (see full recipe below) Rob begins by shaping beef mince into five patties, that are larger than the bun you plan to use as they will shrink during cooking.

Season with salt and pepper and then grill the patties for two minutes on each side, leaving to rest for a further two minutes.

He then places the patties on a toasted sesame bun, topping with the garnish as well as ketchup and mayonnaise.

The burger consists of a char-grilled patty and garnishes and little else, so is incredibly simple to recreate

Burger King Whopper recipe

Ingredients

  • 500g beef mince
  • Sesame seed bun
  • Crinkle cut pickles
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Groundnut oil
  • Ketchup
  • Sliced white onion rings
  • Tomato, sliced
  • Shredded iceberg lettuce
  • Mayonnaise

Method

Begin by shaping your mince into five burger patties, flatten them out and make them wider than the bun as they will shrink while grilling.

Season both sides with salt and pepper and to get a chargrilled effect at home use a griddle pan.

Get the pan hot and add ground nut oil to the pan, grill each side of your patties for two minutes - leave to rest for a further two minutes while you toast the burger.

Toast your sesame bun, place your burger patty on top followed by pickles, a tablespoon of ketchup, two slices of onion, two slices of ripe tomato and a quarter cup of shredded lettuce.

Spread one tablespoon of mayonnaise onto the crown of the bun and place on the top.
