Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
  • Place the lime zest, all the spices and half the chopped cilantro into a large bowl. Mix in the panko breadcrumbs and season with salt. Add the ground beef and season with black pepper, then mix with your hands to form 4 burgers roughly ⅓ inch (1cm) thick.
  • Place the burgers onto the earlier prepared tray, place the sheet into the hot oven and bake on the middle shelf until cooked through, approximately 18-20 minutes.
  • While the burgers cook, prepare the salad dressing. In a medium bowl, combine half the lime juice, olive oil and honey with the remaining cilantro, half the cashews and half the chili. Set aside.
  • Place the lettuce in a bowl with the green onions, pour over the salad dressing and stir to combine.
  • To serve, divide the burgers and salad between 4 plates. Sprinkle with the remaining cashews and chili and serve with additional lime wedges (optional).
