Homemade burgers - recipe
Homemade burgers are convenient because they can be made very quickly with all the ingredients. The main thing is to take care of the hamburger buns in advance. The recipe for this dish is extremely simple. Chives need to be chopped - both the white and green parts. In a large bowl, combine both minced meat, add egg, chopped onion, ketchup, mustard, salt and pepper to taste. The hamburger mustard should not be very hot or it will overpower the flavor of the other ingredients.
How to make a hamburger
Hamburger patties can be formed by hand or using a special shape. Minced meat for cutlets must be thoroughly mixed so that all ingredients are evenly distributed.
It is advisable to grill the finished cutlet (this is especially true for summer picnics in the country). If this is not possible, then a regular frying pan will do. You don't need to use a lot of oil so that the finished dish doesn't turn out to be very greasy. Only two tablespoons are enough for frying. Fry time 3-5 minutes on each side of the hamburger patty.
While the meat is roasting, you have time to chop the onions and tomatoes. You can pick greens with your hands.
When the cutlet is ready, you can "collect" the hamburger: put greens on the bread, then tomatoes, a cutlet, onion rings and the top of the roll. A quick, tasty and low-calorie hamburger is ready!
