1. Heat the olive oil in a wide frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and diced green pepper. Cook 5 min until soft.

6. Taste — should be tangy-sweet with a deep savoury depth. Adjust sugar or vinegar if needed.
7. Toast the buns cut-side-down in a dry pan for 30 sec.
8. Spoon a generous mound of the meat mixture onto the bun bottoms. Don't squash with the top — leave open-faced so you can see the filling.
