There are reportedly over a million feral camels roaming Australia. First introduced to Australia in the 1840s, camels, imported from India and Afghanistan, were used as ‘beasts of burden’ during the exploration and settlement of Australia, especially in arid areas. Camels were released into the wild after motorised transport replaced the use of camels in the early 20th century. The releases, as well as escaped or stolen camels, resulted in a fast-growing feral population.

As well as the meat patty, Aussie burgers also contain pickled beetroot, bacon and an egg.

Ingredients:

For the patties:
500g minced camel meat (include some of the hump to add fat)
1/2 small brown onion, very finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, very finely chopped or crushed
2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
1 tsp Tabasco sauce
1 tsp black peppercorns, coarsely cracked
1 egg yolk
30g (1/2 cup) of fine, fresh, breadcrumbs

For the burger
4 hamburger buns
4 eggs
4 rashers of bacon
4–8 slices of pickled beetroot
Sliced tomato
Sliced onion
Pickles
Lettuce
Cheese
Tomato sauce
Dijon mustard
Mayonnaise

Method:

Mix all the camel patty ingredients well in a bowl. Then, using your hands, mix everything together until thoroughly blended. Divide the mixture into four portions and shape into patties.

Heat a hotplate or place a frying pan over medium heat. Grease with oil then use to cook the patties until nicely browned an both sides and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside to keep warm. Use the same pan to cook the bacon and fry the eggs.

To assemble the burger, split the hamburger bun, spread the bottom half with mustard and tomato sauce, and spread mayonnaise on the top.

Then, stack your burger ingredients on the bottom half of the hamburger bun. First the meat patty, then the cheese, bacon, onion, tomato, beetroot, pickles and lettuce. Sit the top half of the bun on top and serve.
