   800 g  Beef mince
     1 sm Onion; fine diced
     2 cl Garlic; crushed
     2 tb Worcestershire sauce
     2 tb Anchovy sauce
     2 tb Parsley; chopped
          Salt & pepper
          Oil

MMMMM------------------------CHUNKY CHIPS-----------------------------
     6 lg Maris Piper potatoes;
          - peeled
          Salt & pepper

MMMMM----------------------STILTON RAREBIT---------------------------
    65 g  Stilton; crumbled
    25 g  Butter
    25 g  Plain flour
   110 ml Ale
    65 g  Cheddar; grated
   1/2 ts English mustard
   1/2 ts Worcestershire sauce
          Salt & pepper

MMMMM------------------------BURGER SAUCE-----------------------------
    50 ml Tomato ketchup
    50 g  French's classic mustard

MMMMM--------------------------TO SERVE-------------------------------
     4    Burger buns
     1    Baby Gem lettuce head;
          - leaves picked
     2    Tomatoes; sliced

 Sweat the onion and garlic in a little olive oil until translucent.
 Allow to cool

 Mix with the beef mince and the rest of the ingredients. Shape into
 4 even burger patties, using a press or by hand. Chill the patties
 for 30 minutes in the fridge.

 Meanwhile, slice the Maris Piper potatoes into thick chips and wash
 well under cold water. Place in a pan and cover with fresh cold
 water. Season and bring to the boil.

 Once boiling, remove from the heat and drain--making sure not to
 break up the chips. Spread out on a tray to cool and dry.

 For the rarebit, melt the butter in a saucepan and add the flour to
 form a roux. Cook gently for 2 minutes and then slowly add the
 beer, whisking all the time.

 Bring to the simmer and cook very gently for 5 minutes, stirring
 continuously. Add the rest of the Stilton rarebit ingredients,
 season, and mix well until smooth. Pour into a suitable container
 and leave to cool.

 Season the burgers and sear both sides in a hot pan with oil.
 Transfer to an oven set to 180 C/gas mark 4 and allow to cook
 through for 10 minutes.

 Remove the burgers from the oven, spoon a little of the rarebit mix
 over each and transfer to the grill or barbecue for a few minutes
 so that the rarebit mixture is bubbling on top. Allow to rest for a
 couple of minutes.

 Deep fry the chips in oil at 180 C until crispy and golden, then
 drain and season.

 Mix the ketchup and mustard together in a bowl to make the burger
 sauce.

 Place the burgers in the buns along with some lettuce and slices of
 tomato. Spoon the burger sauce onto the burgers and serve with the
 chunky chips.
