Beefburger Bagel With Crispy Fried Onions And Avocado

• 2 pounds ground beef
• handful of breadcrumbs
• handful of fresh thyme leaves, picked
• couple of dashes of worcestershire sauce
• Salt and pepper
• olive oil, for frying and dressing
• 1 large white onion, peeled and sliced
• 4 bagels, halved
• 1 large beetroot, scrubbed and grated
• 1 teaspoon hot English mustard powder, ready-mixed
• juice of 1/2 lemon
• 1 heaped teaspoon capers, drained and rinsed
• 1 avocado, peeled, stoned and sliced

1. Start by mixing the burger ingredients together in a bowl, using your hands to combine.
2. Shape the mixture into patties and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. Heat a little oil on low in a frying pan and add the onion, stirring until brown and crisped.
4. Place the bagel halves under a gentle grill or at the edge of the barbecue, taking care to turn and remove when ready.
5. Push the onion to the edge of the pan, oil and season the burgers on both sides and turn the heat to high.
6. Add the burgers to the center of the pan and press down with a spatula.
7. Cook on both sides for 5 minutes without moving shorter if the burger isn't very fat or you prefer your beef rare.
8. Meanwhile, toss the grated beetroot in a bowl with the olive oil, mustard, lemon juice and capers.
9. As soon as the burgers are ready, stack the dressed beetroot on the bagel bases and top with the burgers and avocado slices.
10. Finish with the crispy fried onions and the bagel tops.
11. Eat quickly and messily with an ice-cold beer.
