Form into 4 large patties or 8 thinner ones if using 2 per burger. Rest the patties in the fridge for about 1 hour, then fry them in a medium to hot frying pan with a dash of olive oil, 4 minutes per side or cooked to your liking.
For the Gooseberry Chutney:
Heat a saucepan on a medium heat and toast the spices for a minute or two to release their flavour
Add the rest of the ingredients, except the brown sugar. Season to taste and cook for about 8 minutes. Add the brown sugar and cook for another 10 minutes or until sticky and caramelized.
Assemble the Burger:
Pour about 80 ml (1/3 cup) of boiling water over the sultanas and allow to soak for about 30 minutes. Blend and combine with the mayo and season to taste.
Halve and butter the buns, then heat a pan on a high heat and toast them. On the bottom bun, spread some of the sultana mayo, followed by the patty, tomato, red onion, fried egg. Topped with gooseberry chutney, banana slices and rocket.
