• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced.
• Cut potato into fries. Pick rosemary leaves.
• Place fries on a lined oven tray. Sprinkle with rosemary, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat.
• Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the fries between two trays.
• Meanwhile, finely chop bacon. Separate cos lettuce leaves.
• Using a vegetable peeler, peel cucumber into ribbons (stopping when you reach the seeds in the centre). Grate beetroot.
• In a medium bowl, combine beef mince, Aussie spice blend, fine breadcrumbs, the egg, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Shape beef mixture into evenly sized patties (1 per person) slightly larger than your burger buns.
• In a large frying pan, heat a good drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook beetroot, bacon, the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar until softened, 2-3 minutes.
• Add the water and onion chutney and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced, 2-3 minutes. Season to taste and transfer to a bowl.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
• Cook beef patties until just cooked through, 4-5 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).
• In the last 1-2 minutes of cook time, sprinkle Cheddar cheese over patties and cover with a lid or foil until the cheese melts.
• Meanwhile, halve bake-at-home burger buns and bake directly on a wire oven rack until heated through, 2-3 minutes.
• Spread each burger bun with garlic aioli.
• Top with a beef patty. Lay the reserved cucumber ribbon over the top of the patty so it hangs over the edge to resemble a 'tongue'.
• Continue building with cos lettuce and bacon-beetroot relish.
• Skewer Kalamata olives on 4 toothpicks for 2P and 8 toothpicks for 4P and push 2 through each the top bun to make the eyes. Remove the cocktail sticks before eating.
• Serve with fries and any remaining aioli. Enjoy!
