So now that he's home and darling baby is fast asleep, we can all have a quiet night in and something nice to eat. He wanted burgers for dinner. So, I went down to the grocers and got some mince beef. Usually the burgers I make is very simple- with diced onion, mustard and ketchup to marinate. But, this time I decided to give it a go on Jamie's burger recipe. I've omitted some of his recipe like taragon and nutmeg.
It was beautiful, full of flavour and so easy to make. So have it a go, y'all.
For the beef:
600g mince beef
2 tbs parmesan
1 clove garlic, minced
half of red onion, diced finely
1 egg
handful of bread crumbs
1 tsp dijon mustard
black pepper
salt
Garnish:
Diced red onions and tomato
Burger buns
Ketchup
Mustard
Cheese
Mix all the ingredients together- yes, the egg, breadcrumbs- everything! Use your hands to mix the beef and the other ingredients, and mix it well. Now, form small meatballs the size of your palm and flatten it, so it become into patties. Then cover the patties lightly with olive oil. On a hot griddle pan (without any oil), place your patties. When your burger patties are 3/4 done, you flip the burger to other side. This will take less than a minute, since the burger is almost cooked. You do not want to overcook your burgers.
Then place your burger on the buns and the garnish of onions and tomatoes goes on top of the patties. A squirt of tomato and mustard, and you're ready to chomp it down!
