400 grams good pork sausages, skins removed

1 teaspoon dried oregano 1 teaspoon smoked paprika ½ teaspoon ground cumin sea salt and ground pepper GARLIC PRAWNS 12 large raw, peeled prawns 2 tablespoon­s olive oil 2 cloves garlic, crushed

BURGERS: Mix everything together until well combined. Form into 4 burgers slightly larger than the buns as they will shrink during cooking.

PRAWNS: Cut the prawns in half to give you two thinner halves or leave them whole if using smaller prawns. Toss with the oil and garlic then cover and chill.

MAYO: Stir everything together in a bowl then set aside.

TO COOK AND ASSEMBLE: Heat a little oil in a sauté pan over a high heat. Season the prawns, tip into the pan and cook until pink. Take out, cover, and set aside.

Wipe out the pan and heat a little more oil over a medium heat. Cook the burgers for 4 minutes then turn over and top with the mozzarella. Cover and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese has melted and the burgers are fully cooked through.

TO SERVE: Spread the buns with the mayo and layer up with the remaining ingredient­s. MAKES 4
