Is it worth it to cook a burger at home? This is a traditional dish of American fast food among nutritionists and cooks, as a rule, causes all kinds of ridicule and complaints. However, the burger, despite its high calorie content, deserves attention. Children love him, therefore it is convenient as a meal for school breakfasts, a burger is good to take on the road, it can be a good help during long walks, it is very convenient for picnics, and if you do not abuse such food, it is quite useful, especially when cooked at home .
So, let's pick a classic recipe. A burger is, first of all, a cutlet. Moreover, it is prepared from pure meat without eggs, bread, onions and other various flavors. The only additional ingredient in the burger cutlet is butter, which gives it a juiciness. For the dietary option, ground ice is added to minced meat instead of butter. The meat for the cutlet must be lean (about 80% pulp and 20% fat) and very high quality. We make minced meat from it, turning it through a meat grinder. Then we begin to beat it well so that the stuffing is saturated with oxygen and turns into a lush, homogeneous mass. Add oil or ice, mix everything again and form a patty. It is best to bake it on the grill, but you can also in a pan.
Now we proceed to another important element of the burger - rolls. To save time, you can take a ready-made American bun, or two slices of wheat bread (say, cheabatta, French baguette, etc.). It’s important to keep the classic recipe here. A burger consists of wheat bread without any additional flavors that can spoil the taste of meat cutlets. Half the buns or breads on the grill or pan are browned slightly less on one side than on the other. We spread the halves of bread with the browned side up - this will be the inside, and grease them with the sauce.
To prepare the sauce, you can choose any recipe. An American burger will complement salsa sauce well , for lovers of oriental or Caucasian cuisine, one of the Chinese or traditional Caucasian sauces is suitable . You can prepare a liquid seasoning yourself by mixing, for example, mayonnaise, ketchup and soy sauce, or add honey and soy sauce to mustard. Grease the lower layer of bread with sauce and put the patty on it. Spread another burger ingredient on top - plastic cheddar cheese. The thickness of the cheese plastic should be such that it, having melted on hot meat, does not drip. On top of a layer of cheese we spread slices of vegetables (tomatoes, fresh or pickled cucumbers, zucchini and zucchini), and thin juicy plastic of slightly fried bacon on vegetables. On the second half of the bread we put the lettuce leaves. We combine both halves of the bun, and sprinkle with sesame seeds on top, which are also one of the classic ingredients of this dish.
How to cook a burger in french? This is a closed snack sandwich, which, unlike the American one, can consist of a variety of layers. For example, such a recipe: a burger with a base of puff pastry.
Cut the defrosted puff pastry into squares or rhombuses, grease them with whipped yolk, sprinkle with grated cheese on top and put in the oven for baking. Put the sliced tomatoes and cucumbers on the cooled puff boxes, put on top the plastic of lean boiled meat (ham, for example) and a piece of soft, sharp cheese. Close the top of the sandwich with a second puff square. If you want to make the French burger more juicy, we supplement the vegetable layer with a small amount of sauce, which is prepared from a spoon of French mustard mixed with a drop of lemon juice, honey and olive oil. That's all.
French burgers served with wine. Classic American can be complemented with beer.
