Add all the remaining ingredients to the pan, stir, bring to the boil and cook for 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then cover again with the lid, reduce the heat and leave to simmer for about 10 minutes.
• For the mint mayonnaise, mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl.
• To cook the burgers, heat the oil in a large frying pan, or alternatively light the barbecue and let the flames flare up and die down. Fry or barbecue the burgers for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until browned and cooked through.
• To serve, slice the buns in half and toast the cut side. Spread one half of each bun with the tomato relish and add a lettuce leaf, a burger, a dollop of mint mayonnaise and a few slices of gherkin before popping on the top half of the bun.
