Classic cheeseburger is a soft bun, lettuce, some tomato, pickled cucumbers, onion, juicy cutlet, cheese, and your favorite sauces. We won’t go far away from the classic, just will make one small change: we’ll replace fresh or pickled onion with caramelized one.
mustard or ketchup (or any other your favorite sauce)
2tsp.sugar
2tbsp.wine vinegar
salt
pepper
hamburger buns(cooked according to the recipe or bought)
Instructions
Cut 3 medium-sized onions into half-rings.
20-30 g of unsalted butter melt in the frying pan on the medium fire, add sliced onion and stir. Sprinkle it with 2 tsp of sugar (I used a brown one, but you can also use white) and a pinch of salt. Turn the fire down and cook, stirring once in a while until the onion is golden.
Wash the lettuce and divide the leaves, slice the tomato and 3-4 cucumbers. Cut the buns in half.
Cut the meat (700 g) into small pieces, and make the minced meat.
When the onion is ready, add 2 tbsp of wine vinegar. Cook the onion for another 2-3 minutes and put it to the clean plate.
Finely warm up the frying pan where you’re planning to cook the meat. While the frying pan is warming up, roast an inner-part of buns till it becomes a bit brown.
Form the cutlets. Take a handful of meat, roll the ball. But don’t press and smoosh it down too much. Then, by moving your fingers from the center to the edges form a cutlet. Make a little dip in the middle. Salt and pepper from each side.
Don’t forget to add a bit of oil. You’ll need to fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side until well-done if the cutlet is 1,5-2 cm thick. For 2-3 minutes before done, come up with such a trick: put on top a slice of cheese and cover. Cook for a couple of minutes until the cheese melts.
Put the burger together as you like, but don’t forget to grease the buns with your favorite sauces. For example, I used ketchup for one and mustard for another.Put lettuce, cucumbers, and tomatoes. Add a cutlet with cheese and caramelized onion on top.
