    1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Line two large baking trays with baking paper. Place fries on one tray and bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.

    2 Combine the beef, one of the cans of baked beans, the breadcrumbs and the garlic in a bowl. Shape into four patties.

    3 Spray a large non-stick frying pan with olive oil and set over medium-high heat. Add patties; cook for 4 minutes each side, or until browned and cooked through. Transfer to prepared baking tray. Top the patties with remaining baked beans and cheese. Bake for 5 minutes, or until the cheese melts and is golden brown.

    4 Toast the bread and place on serving plates. Combine the slaw, yoghurt, mustard and the parsley in a bowl. Season well with cracked black pepper. Spoon onto sourdough. Top with a cheesy beef patty and the gherkins. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve open burgers with kumara fries.
