Yesterday, I went to the pub (the Canonbury in Islington) to be exact. Lunch between rugby games was a hamburger - a lovely juicy perfect hamburger.
This got me to thinking about the perfect meal that is a good hamburger - not one of those nasty MacDonalds burgers but either one sold in a proper pub, diner or restaurant or even better home made.
Yes, the home-made burger - a think of beauty if done right. So, my interpretation suggests you take 500g of mince (I don't tend to use lean as a burger needs a little fat) and mix with handful of bread-crumbs, 1 egg and half a finely chopped onion.
Then add the flavouring which for me is a little garlic powder, Worcester sauce, fresh pepper, salt and paprika. You may need to add a little water if the mixture seems to dry. Roll into balls and then leave in the fridge to cool.
Remove from the fridge after half an hour and then flatten the balls into patties. Fry in a little oil until cooked through and then pop on a sesame seed roll with mustard, a slice of beef tomato and a slice of onion. Yum
There are variations to the recipe and you can add Italian herbs, bacon or some cheddar cheese into the mixture depending on taste.
