1 long red chilli, seeds removed, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
5cm piece ginger, grated
2 x 200g chicken breast fillets, chopped
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 green apple, cored, quartered
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2-3 tablespoons sunflower oil
4 hamburger buns, split, toasted
Whole-egg mayonnaise, mango chutney, micro herbs or coriander sprigs, and French fries (optional) to serve

Method

1.

Place chilli, garlic and ginger in a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the chicken, egg yolk, curry powder and some salt and pepper, then pulse until it forms a coarse mixture. Form into 4 patties. Chill for 30 minutes.
2.

Meanwhile, slice the apple very thinly (a mandoline is ideal) and toss with the lemon juice in a bowl. Set aside.
3.

Preheat a chargrill or barbecue to medium-high. Brush the burger patties with oil, then grill, turning once, for 5-6 minutes or until cooked through.
4.

Fill toasted buns with mayonnaise, burger patties, chutney, sliced apple and herbs. Serve with French fries, if desired.
