4 . With clean hands, scrunch and mix everything up well. Divide into 6 and pat and mould each piece into a roundish shape, roughly 2cm thick.

5 . Place the burgers onto a plate, drizzle with oil, then cover and place in the fridge until needed – this will help to firm them up.

6 . To cook the burgers, preheat a large griddle or frying pan for 4 minutes on a high heat, then turn the heat down to medium.

7 . Place the burgers on the griddle or into the pan, then use a spatula to lightly press them down, making sure the burger is in full contact with the pan.

8 . Cook the burgers for 3 or 4 minutes on each side, depending on how you like them – you may need to work in batches.

9 . Meanwhile, wash and dry a few small lettuce leaves, tearing up the larger ones. Slice the tomatoes, peel and finely slice the red onion, then slice the gherkins lengthways as finely as you can.

10 . Place all the veg toppings, and the cheese (if using) on a platter and put in the middle of the table with plates, cutlery, ketchup and drinks.

11 . Once cooked, remove the burgers to a plate and carefully wipe the pan clean with a ball of kitchen paper. Halve the burger buns and lightly toast them in the pan, then serve up.
