1 burger, well seasoned

1 brioche bun

2 slices smoked cheese

2 smoked bacon rashers, grilled

2 slices tomato

French’s mustard

Method

     +    
Sauerkraut (for Burgers)

Shred the cabbage and place in a bowl, adding the salt and spices, then mix thoroughly.

Pound and squeeze with a hand-washing action until the cabbage is limp and a brine is present.

Pack down firmly and place into a glass jar, pushing down to ensure the kraut is fully submerged.

After 7 days, check the brine level and re-submerge if necessary.

Check every 2–3 days; between days 14–21, check acidity — the sauerkraut should then be ready to use.
