Beef Hamburger

This delicious beef hamburger, is a creation of my own which I invented while working at my last job. The owners wanted to have a lovely beef burger on the menu, so I took time to combine a few lovely ingredients to make a spectacular beef hamburger. The beef patties I make from scratch too, and my husband absolutely love burger nights. He still think, after each time, that I make the best beef patties ever. The secret ingredient I would say that absolutely make this recipe stand out is the dark opal basil. I must agree that if I were to be given a few hamburgers, blind folded, taste each hamburger and tell which one is mine, I would for sure taste mine out of a million hamburgers. The dark opal basil, together with the ground coriander and chutney just gives it a distinct lovely flavour. At home we usually buy a packet monkey gland sauce - I am very much for home-made sauces but this particular “packet” monkey gland sauce is just the best supermarket sauce if you don’t have time. If you do have time, you can make the tzatziki sauce, it is great with it too! I sincerely hope this would become your Friday evening meal or your weekend spoil!Enjoy this with a light strawberry mousse as dessert.Try this Zinfandel Rosé as the pefect wine companion to pair with the beef hamburger.If you prefer a healthier hamburger alternative, then this Ostrich Hamburger is the perfect solution for you.

BEEF PATTY:
Combine the onions and green pepper together and mix well.

Add the mince and mix well.

Add the coriander, chutney, crumbs, egg, the parsley and opal basil and mix well together.

Add the salt and grated black pepper.

weigh the patty seize you want- 150 g/200 g or 250 g and form a ball.

Press it down and take a large cup or ramekin to make a round circle.

TIP: At this step it is important to see that the patty is firm.

Sometimes it is not firm enough and then once you start to fry it, it will break.

If you see it is not firm enough, add more crumbs to the mixture.

This will prevent it from breaking while frying them.

Fry in a pan on low heat until cooked.

IF DOING WITHOUT THE MONKEY GLAND SAUCE: Add the Jimmy or Lappies sauce during frying or dip the patty in it afterwards.

ASSEMBLING:
Butter the buns.

Add the lettuce and cover the bun.

Last add the monkey gland sauce.

IF DOING WITH THE TZATSIKI SAUCE: Add the 2 slices of bacon and last add the tzatziki sauce on top.

Add the other half of the bun on top TO GARNISH: Add the skewer through the middle with the cherry tomato and cucumber stick on top.
