Step-by-step
- Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat and cook the shallots until softened, add the smoked paprika and continue gently cooking for a further 10 minutes.
- Place the avocado cut-side down on the barbecue or griddle pan until the surface has been charred. Add to the shallots mixture and, using a fork, coarsely mash the avocado to a chunky consistency. Mix with the remaining sauce ingredients and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Meanwhile, cook the burgers and bacon according to pack instructions, and toast the burger buns. Assemble the burgers - top with the avocado sauce, sliced gherkins and bacon. Add the toasted bun then serve.
