GOURMET BURGER
Ingredients
For the patty-
- 500 g beef mince (you can also use mutton or chicken mince)
- ½ cup onion (finely chopped)
- 3-4 garlic (finely chopped)
- 2 tsp ginger (grated)
- 1 tbsp yoghurt
- ¼ cup grated mozzarella
- 2 red/green chilli (chopped)
- Salt to taste
- 1 tsp black pepper powder
- 1 tsp crushed chilli flakes
- 2 tbsp oil
- 6 Brioche buns
For sauce-
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1½ tbsp sriracha sauce or any red hot chilli sauce.
- Mix the two together and keep aside.
Fillings-
- Caramalized onions- (Slice 4 medium size onions and saute them in a frying pan in a tbsp of butter and a pinch of salt to add moisture. This process needs to be done on a low medium heat to allow onions to caramelize in their own juice. Keep stirring them and prevent them from sticking to the pan. They will start getting softer. If the water is dried and onions haven’t attained the required golden brown, add little bit of water and continue cooking).
- Mushrooms ( slice them and sauce in a pan with butter and some salt and pepper)
- Lettuce
- Tomato slices
- Cheddar cheese slices
- Onion slices
- Jalepenos
- Nachos
All of the above fillings are optional and could be used according to personal preference.
- 6 medium size Burger buns
- I prefer to use brioche buns if available
Instructions
- In a pan, with a tsp of oil saute chopped onions, garlic and ginger. Fry them until they become transparent and soft. Mix these and all the other ingredients mentioned in this section, in the mince and prepare round patties.
- Apply some oil on a frying pan and start frying the patties on medium heat. Keep the flame medium so the mince gets cooked from inside. Turn them and make them brown from both sides. In the end, place the slice of cheese on each patty and take them off the pan after two minutes.
- Half each bun and toast them from the white side in the same pan as you fried the patty.
- Spread the prepared sauce on both sides of the bun and place the patty and other fillings of your choice.
