Shape each portion into a patty 1.5 cm thick and slightly wider than the bun, and press a shallow dimple in the center with your thumb. Chill for 15 minutes.

Thinly slice the tomato and pickles, cut the red onion into rings, and wash and dry the lettuce leaves.

Heat a cast-iron pan or grill over high heat until very hot and cook the patties without oil for 4-5 minutes per side.

Split the buns and toast the cut sides in the same pan for 1 minute.
