For the Frenchy French, je vous invite à découvrir la recette des petits pains à burger légèrement briochés avant de vous lancer dans la préparation des steaks hachés maison :P

INGREDIENTS:

Hamburger Patty:

- 500grs minced meat. 

- 2-3 table spoons Worcestershire sauce

- 1 tablespoon Maggie sauce

- Pinch of paprika

- Pinch of piment d'Espelette

- Salt and pepper – quantity is your choice!

For caramelized Onions:

- 4 big onions

- 2 tablespoons sugar

- 1 tablespoon honey

- Pinch of powder chilli

For topping:

- 2 tomatoes

- 4-5 lettuce leaves

- Ketchup

- Mustard

- Home made Mayo (recipe available soon!)

- Bacon strips or Jamón Serrano

GET IT DONE!

Hamburger Patty:

1. Mix all the ingredients with the meat and mix well. Once your buns are ready you can make your hamburgers the right size! You can chose how thick you want them depending on your personal taste, we like them nice and thick!

2. Make the patty with your hands and squash gently until you get the right shape and size, then grill away on a fryin pan with a little bit of butter.

Caramelized onions:

3. Chop your onions in julienne strips, then place a teaspoon of butter and stir frequently for several minutes. If you want the light version, just stir away for approximately 30 mins until the onions become caramelized, very brown, just before it burns… make sure you stir often otherwise you will get burned onions instead!

4. For a unique taste, once your onions reach the dark brown colour add the sugar and honey, keep stirring and add the pinch of powder chilli…. Once they are well mixed and very brown, you are done!

Topping:

5. Brown the bacon or jamón until it’s crunchy. To brown the jamón you will have to add a little bit of oil to your pan.

6. Chop the tomatoes in round slices, the lettuce in julienne strips and add on your meat for topping, together with the bacon/jamón and caramelized onions!

Bon appetite!
