Those who have already managed to join the fast food industry understand that burger sauce is one of the main components of the success of a popular product. The aromatic mass gives it a special taste and personality.
Original composition
To make burger sauce, you don’t have to be a first-class cook. You just need to put together those components that can pleasantly complement the taste of familiar products. For example, you can consider one of the most famous options related to American cuisine.
For it, you will need ingredients that are best measured out with tablespoons:
- chopped pickled cucumber - 3;
- pickle from it - 1;
- mayonnaise - 4;
- ketchup - 1;
- mustard and sugar - 0.25 each.
To make such a sauce for a burger is not difficult at all. To do this:
- Evenly measure all selected components.
- Collect prepared foods in one container and mix them well.
- Refrigerate for 30-40 minutes. This time is needed so that the mass thickens, and the products can mutually exchange tastes. The mixture should be a single whole. Otherwise, it will not give the desired effect.
After that, you can start cooking a burger using fresh aromatic sauce.
Unusual combination
It is especially pleasant when the sauce is not just aromatic gravy, but a completely independent mixture. This result can be achieved if you use not quite ordinary components. Take, for example, a burger sauce called Pesto. It includes:
2 cups of fresh basil, salt, a quarter cup of peeled pine nuts, 3 cloves of garlic, 1/3 cup olive oil and grated Parmesan cheese, as well as a little black pepper.
The cooking process consists of several stages:
- First, nuts with basil leaves must be ground in a blender until smooth.
- Add the remaining components to the resulting paste and beat them until the mixture gets a glossy shade. Periodically during breaks you need to scrape pieces of food from the walls of the blender bowl. Otherwise, the desired uniformity cannot be achieved.
A similar composition will go well with both meat and vegetable components of the burger.
Original version
The process of preparing a popular fast food, as a rule, does not cause problems. Of particular note is the burger sauce . The recipe will depend on how the cook wants to emphasize the taste of each ingredient. Thrill-seekers can be advised on the not-so-usual composition of the liquid component.
To prepare it you will need:
2 tablespoons of orange juice, 12 grams of honey, salt, one and a half tablespoons of lemon juice, 17 grams of vegetable oil and a little ground pepper.
The sauce is prepared according to the following technology:
- The first step is to heat the honey in a water bath, and then mix it with oil. The mixture should look uniform and not stratify.
- After that, you need to add the remaining components and mix everything thoroughly.
The resulting mass is used as an impregnation. She does not need to water products. The liquid component should simply be applied to the slices of the bread and wait until it is completely absorbed. The effect of this will be much stronger. And for those who like more spicy dishes, you can advise adding a little ordinary table mustard to the finished product.
The simplest burger at home
Many kids really like burgers. They are ready to eat them every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner. But the cost of one trip to McDonald's often makes parents think about what their child eats. In this case, there is only one way out for mom - to cook the most coveted fast food. For such a dish, you may need the following products:
bun, cutlet, salad, tomato, onion, mayonnaise and mustard.
The whole process mainly consists of two stages: preparation of initial products and assembly of the product. First, the bun must be cut in half. You can take the cutlet ready-made or make it from minced meat yourself. You just need to tear the lettuce leaf with your hands, chop the onion with large straws, and cut the tomato into rings. And the sauce for homemade burgers is just a mixture of mustard with mayonnaise in a 1: 3 ratio.
Then everything is done very simply:
- The lower part of the roll should be greased with pre-prepared sauce.
- Then lay on it all the products in the following sequence: cutlet - tomato - onion - salad.
- Slightly pour over the construction with the same sauce and cover it with the second half of the bun.
Some people prefer to add a little ketchup to the liquid mass or completely replace mustard with it. It all depends on the hostess’s own taste.
Homemade Big Mac
If before people went for burgers at McDonald's, now there is an opportunity to give yourself pleasure without leaving your home. It is known that the famous company developed a special sauce for their manufacture. For almost fifty years, she kept it a secret, but now she decided to still reveal her secret. Therefore, any housewife can make the same sauce for burgers at home. To do this, you need the most common products:
mayonnaise, yellow mustard, pickled cucumbers in a sweet fill, a little paprika, as well as dried garlic and onion powder.
The whole cooking process boils down to thoroughly mixing the components to a state of viscous homogeneous mass. After this, it remains only to assemble a "pyramid" of pre-prepared ingredients.
According to the rules, a sesame bun should be at the bottom. Next, the products are in strict sequence: sauce, salad, cheese, cutlet, part of the roll, sauce, lettuce, cucumbers, cutlet, top of the roll, sprinkled with sesame seeds. Only in this case, you can be sure that you get the real “Big Mac”.
