THE ITALIAN STALLION BURGER

Steps:

• Place ground beef into a bowl. Add the salt and pepper, diced portobello msuhrooms, chopped basil, and onions into the bowl. Mix thoroughly with hands or kitchen aid mixer, making sure all the ingredients are equally distributed through the meat. Add the wine to the mixture and continue to incorporate into the meat. Divide the mixture into 6 equal balls (approx). One ball at a time, place ball on a plastic cutting board. Place a small plate onto the top of the ball and push down to flatten meat. About 1/2 inch in width, and 5 inches in diameter. Do same with the other 5 balls. Place on tray with parchment paper underneath the burgers. Sprinkle ground coffee evenly on both sides of the burger prior to grilling (approx 1/2 teaspoon per side) Place on grill and cook to desired temperature. Prior to serving on grilled ciabatta, place sliced proscuitto on top of the hamburger, add sliced tomatoes, lettuce, Hellmanns mayonaisse and your (other) favorite condiments. Serve with coleslaw or enjoy by itself.
