Texicanburger Recipes

Steps:

• Mix the ground beef, salt and pepper in a large bowl and form the mixture into 8 equal-size balls. Press a cube of desired cheese into the center of each ball and cover completely with meat. Form the balls into hamburger patties, about 1/4-inch thick. Grill burgers until desired doneness. Top with lettuce, tomatoes, onions and pickles as desired on a toasted bun.
• Place the drained pimientos in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Using an electric mixer, combine the pimientos and cheese, beating until smooth. Beat in the mayonnaise.

Steps:

• In a small saute pan, over high heat, saute the shallots in the butter until soft, about 5 minutes. Divide the meat into 4 portions. One at a time, flatten each by chopping and spreading the meat with light strokes of your chefs knife. Season each with salt, pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of the shallots. Blend into the meat, chopping and turning it as you shape the portions into 4 1/2 to 5-inch round patties, 1/4-inch thick. Toast the hamburger buns and distribute them to your guests. Suggest that they dress the bottom halves of their rolls as they wish while you cook the burgers. Lightly dust the surface of a large, hot saute pan, with salt. When the pan is very hot, but not smoking, lay a patty in the pan. Rapidly add a second burger. Brown the meat, about 20 seconds. Turn patties to other side. Cook until done, about 1 minute. Remove cooked burgers to a warm platter. Repeat process with 2 remaining burgers. Place finished burgers onto guests buns as quickly as possible so they can add their finishing touches.

Steps:

• Mix mince with the onion, cayenne pepper and oregano. Season well, shape into 4 patties and chill for 30 mins.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Cook burgers for 15 mins or until done to your liking, flipping over halfway through.
• Serve in rolls with cheese, tomato and avocado.

Steps:

• Combine the first 10 ingredients in a medium bowl. Mix with hands until combined. Shape beef mixture into four round patties. Cook over medium heat on grill for 5 minutes per side or for longer if desired.
• For the Jalopeno Mayo.
• Combine the pickled jalopeno, cilantro, minced garlic in a small bowl. Cover and chill to ready to use.
• To assemble burgers, spread the mayo on the buns (buns can be toasted if desired). Add patties and top with shredded cheddar cheese, lettuce, and avocado slices add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste if desired.

Steps:

• In a cocktail shaker with ice, shake all ingredients, strain into a chilled glass.

Steps:

• 1. In a small saucepan, combine red onion with butter, coriander and 1 cup water and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture is reduced to 1/2 cup, about 30 minutes.
• 2. Meanwhile, in a small food processor, pulse sun-dried tomatoes with capers, cornichons, tarragon and parsley until finely chopped.
• 3. In a medium bowl, lightly mix meat with sun-dried tomato mixture and season with pepper. Shape meat into 4 patties about 3/4 inch thick.
• 4. Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Add burgers and cook for about 2 minutes on each side for rare or 3 minutes for medium rare. Transfer burgers to a platter and top with Parmesan. Lightly toast buns. Spread a thin layer of onion jam on bottom buns. Top with pickle slices and burgers. Cover with top buns and serve.

• Meanwhile mix together sour cream and guacamole.
• Top burgers with cheese, grill an additional 2 minutes to melt cheese.
• Place burger on bun, top with green chilies, diced tomatoes, french fried onions, and shredded lettuce.
• Spread sour cream/guacamole mixture on top of bun and place on top of burger.

Steps:

• Begin by chopping the raw bacon finely with a sharp knife. I slice it in half, then in strips, then dice it. The key is to make it small. I do not recommend a food processor because it heats the bacon up too much and can become gummy.
• Gently mix all ingredients in a large bowl and add the bacon. Form into 6-8 patties and put in the freezer for 30 minutes before grilling. This is not a necessary step, but I think the meat holds together nicely when the patties go on cold.
• Grill patties approximately 5 minutes on each side. Allow them to rest 5 minutes before serving.
• Top with cheese if you wish and any of your favorite toppings.
