• 6 handle as little as possible but combine mixture well.
• 7 divide mixture into 6 equal portions; form into patties to fit rolls.
• 8 when the grill is ready, brush grill rack with oil; place the patties on the rack, cover, and cook, turning once, until done to preference—5-7 minutes on each side for medium.
• 9 during the last few minutes of cooking, place the rolls, cut side down, on the outer edges of the rack to toast lightly.
• 10 assemble burgers: spread mayonnaise over the cut sides of the roll tops; on each roll bottom, place ½ cup watercress, a patty, and an equal portion of the chutney; add the roll tops and serve.
