1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

2 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley

8 slices pancetta

4 burger buns, halved and toasted

Divide into 4 equal parts. Wet your hands and shape each part into a flat patty. Cover each side of the 4 patties with a slice of pancetta. Take a non-sticking pan and heat on medium-high heat. Put the patties in the pan and cook for about 4 minutes.

Place the bottom of the toasted buns onto serving plates. Top each bun with a patty, a slice of cheese, salad leaves, the onion relish or the tomato chutney. Cover with the top of the buns and serve while hot.
