Easy green chilli relish recipe

By

We all know that the key to a great burger is the quality of the meat – coarsely ground, choice cuts from well-bred, well-reared animals. It isn’t complicated; simply add salt, cook with care, and make sure to get a good crust on both sides. A generous slice of cheese melted over the patty, all nestled into a quality bun. Simple, really. That said, there are certain additions that can bring a burger to life, and this easy green chilli relish recipe does just that. With its acidic lift and punchy heat, it adds the perfect layer of flavour to either a beef or venison burger. Give it a whirl!
