Meanwhile, prepare the red cabbage and apple slaw; in a large bowl mix all the ingredients together.  Cover and chill in the fridge until required.

STEP 4
Cook the burgers under a preheated moderate grill or on a prepared barbecue for 6-8 minutes on each side until thoroughly cooked and any meat juices run 
clear.

STEP 5
Serve the burgers in buns or rolls of your choice with the slaw, potato wedges and a salad garnish.
