Preparation
Mise en place
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F. Lightly oil the basket.
- Reserving 2 of the largest outer leaves (double for 4 portions), halve the lettuce leaves crosswise and roughly chop the rest.
- Using a peeler, thinly slice the carrots into ribbons.
- Halve, core and thinly slice the apple; toss with a splash of the vinegar to prevent browning.
Prepare the patties
- In a large bowl, combine the beef, ¾ of the spices and S&P.
- Form into 2 patties (double for 4 portions).
- Squeeze the cheese into 2 balls (double for 4 portions); flatten slightly.
- Place a ball of cheese in the centre of each patty, folding the meat around to seal it in. Form into a patty once more, ensuring the cheese is fully encased.
Fry the patties
- Place the patties* in the air fryer and fry, 4 to 6 min., until browned and cooked through.
- Transfer to a plate.
Fry the buns
- Working in batches, place the buns in the air fryer and fry, 2 to 3 min., until warmed through.
Make the salad
- Meanwhile, in a second large bowl, combine the remaining vinegar (start with ½), remaining spices and 2 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions).
- Add the chopped lettuce, apple, carrots and S&P; toss well.
Plate your dish
- Divide the bun bottoms between your plates.
- Top each bun bottom with the reserved lettuce leaves, a patty, the onions and a bun top.
- Serve the salad on the side. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground beef to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
