HEMINGWAY'S FAVORITE BURGER

Steps:

• Break up the meat with a fork and scatter the garlic, onion and dry seasonings over it, then mix them into the meat with a fork or your fingers.
• Let the bowl of meat sit out of the icebox for ten or fifteen minutes while you set the table and make the salad.
• Add the relish, capers, everything else including wine and let the meat sit, quietly marinating, for another ten minutes if possible.
• Now make your fat, juicy patties with your hands. The patties should be an inch thick, and soft in texture but not runny.
• Have the oil in your frying pan hot but not smoking when you drop in the patties and then turn the heat down and fry the burgers about four minutes.
• Take the pan off the burner and turn the heat high again.
• Flip the burgers over, put the pan back on the hot fire, then after one minute, turn the heat down again and cook another three minutes.
• Both sides of the burgers should be crispy brown and the middle pink and juicy.
• Time does not include sitting times.
