How to make
1Pre-heat your BBQ, making sure to oil the grill first to prevent sticking. Halve, peel and mince the shallot and garlic and dice the tomatoes. In a large bowl, combine the beef, ½ the garlic, ½ the shallot, ⅔ of the spices and S&P. Form 4 patties.
2Grill the patties* on the BBQ (on medium or high) for, 3 to 5 min. or until cooked through.
3Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, 1 tsp of the vinegar, the remaining shallot, a generous drizzle of olive oil, remaining spices, and S&P.
4In a separate salad bowl, tear the lettuce leaves, and cut radishes into ½-inch wedges. In a small bowl, combine the remaining vinegar, 3 tbsp. olive oil and S&P. Add the lettuce, and radishes; and toss well. In a small bowl, combine the mayo, and remaining garlic with S&P.
5Grill the hamburger buns with a little bit of oil, or toast until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
6Divide the buns between your plates and spread with the aioli. Top each bun with a patty and the bruschetta. Serve the salad on the side.
