Venison-Beef Cheeseburger & Spiced Fries

• Meanwhile, slice tomato into wedges. 
• Thinly slice cucumber. 
• Trim green butter lettuce and seperate leaves.
• In a large bowl, combine venison & beef mince, garlic & herb seasoning, the egg and fine breadcrumbs.
• Shape mince mixture into 2cm-thick patties (1 per person).
• Grate or thinly slice Totara tasty Cheddar. 

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
• Cook streaky bacon, turning, until golden, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside, covered to keep warm. 

• Return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
• Cook patties until just cooked through, 4-5 minutes each side.
• In the last 1-2 minutes of cook time, sprinkle Totara cheese over patties and cover with a lid (or foil) so the cheese melts.

• While the patties are cooking, halve burger buns and bake directly on a wire oven rack until heated through, 2-3 minutes.
• In a second large bowl, combine green butter leaves (reserve a handful for the burgers!), cucumber, tomato and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
