Tiny Hamburgers With Onion Relish Recipes

TINY HAMBURGERS WITH ONION RELISH

Steps:

• Heat a grill to high.
• Combine all of the ground meat into a large mixing bowl. Shape into 16 (1-ounce) patties. Season patties generously with salt and pepper and drizzle with oil.
• Cook burgers on a very hot grill for about 30 seconds on each side. If a smoky flavor is desired, you may place a lid on the grill during cooking. Serve the patties on Parker House rolls garnished with a dill pickle and Onion Relish.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil and garlic cloves. Saute the garlic until lightly browned. Add the onions and continue to cook the mixture until golden brown. Season well with salt and pepper, add the water, stir, and bring to a boil, scraping up the caramelized bits on the bottom of the pan. Stir in ketchup and mustard. Simmer until thick. Remove from heat and let cool before serving with the burgers.

CARAMELIZED ONION ZIN-BURGERS WITH CRISPY CHEDDAR FRICO

Steps:

• Heat a 10-inch saute pan over high heat. When hot add the olive oil, onions, and season with some salt and black pepper. Reduce heat to medium-high and continue to cook for 10 minutes until caramelized, stirring often. Sprinkle in the thyme and continue to cook for one minute. Add the Zinfandel and cook until wine is 2/3 reduced. Take off the heat and let cool to room temperature.
• For the Cheddar fricos: In an 8-inch nonstick pan heated over medium-high heat add 1/4 cup shredded cheese. Cook until cheese is light brown on the bottom. Turn over with a plastic spatula and continue cooking for another 10 to 15 seconds. Remove to a plate to cool. Wipe pan and start again until 6 fricos are complete.
• Form 6 (1/2-pound) beef patties and season very well with sea salt and black pepper on each side. Place on a hot grill and cook until nicely browned, approximately 5 minutes. Turn over and continue to cook to desired doneness.
• A couple of minutes before the burgers are done halve the rolls and lightly brown on the grill, open side down.
• Place burgers on the bottom halves of the rolls, adding a generous helping of onions. Season the tomato slices with salt and pepper. Top the burgers with frico, tomato slice and greens. Roll up your sleeves and dive in.

HAMBURGERS

Steps:

• Using your hands, break the meat into small pieces and combine evenly but loosely on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread the meat out and season it generously with salt and pepper.
• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Place a roasting rack on a foil-lined baking sheet in the oven.
• Divide the meat into 4 portions (about 5 ounces each). Using your hands, form each portion into a ball-shape by gently tossing it from one hand to the other. (Don't over work or press too firmly on the meat.) Gently form each portion into a patty about 3 inches wide and 1-inch-thick.
• Preheat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Raise the heat to high and add the oil. Add the patties and cook, turning once, until well-browned, about 2 minutes the first side, and 1 minute the second side.
• Using a spatula, transfer the hamburgers to the roasting rack in the oven and continue cooking to desired doneness, 5 minutes for very rare (blue), 6 to 7 minutes for rare, 8 to 9 minutes for medium-rare, 10 to 11 minutes for medium, and 13 to 15 minutes for well-done. If you are using the cheese, top the hamburgers during their last couple of minutes of cooking to melt.
• Transfer the hamburgers to a plate let rest for a couple minutes before serving. Meanwhile, toast the hamburger buns. Assemble the hamburgers with the condiments and toppings of your choice. Serve.

HAMBURGERS WITH FRESH TOMATO AND ONION RELISH

Steps:

• 1. For the Burger: In a large bowl combine all of the above ingredients; mix well and form into desired sized hamburgers. Heat a large 10 inch frying and place the formed burgers. Do not overcrowd the pan. Depending on how thick you make the burgers will determine how long they should be cooked; also it depends on how you like to eat your burgers. For the Tomato Onion Relish: Bring a small sauce pot of water to a simmer and add the tomatoes. Let the tomatoes simmer for about 2-3 minutes. Remove the tomatoes and set aside to cool. Heat a medium sized frying pan with one tablespoon of olive oil and add the onion slices. Sauté the onions until they are transparent. Add the garlic and cilantro. Continue to sauté for another minute or two until the garlic is fragrant. Gently, remove the skin from the tomatoes and chop the meat from the tomatoes. Add the tomatoes to the onions and garlic; continue to sauté on a low heat. Add the seasonings, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice and sauté on low for another few minutes. Remove from the heat; place in a bowl and drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil. Serve with the burgers.
