Last week showed the warm, sunny promise of spring through the still wintry-white ground. Time to fire up the grill for the first time this season! I like making burgers. And I'm good at it. These tips can be found anywhere on the internet for making good, juicy burgers:
1. When forming patties, leave a slight depression in the middle. This will leave you with a more consistent shape when finished cooking.
2. Flip only once.
3. Don't press down on them while cooking.
I'd add:
4. Put patties in freezer for 15 minutes before grilling. This helps keep their form and allows the middle to stay nicely pink while getting a good outside sear.
5. Consider putting some cheese inside the patty: it will get nicely melted, keep the insides moist, and be a pleasant surprise for your guests.
These burgers had applewood smoked mozz inside, and were finished off with basil, tomato, and sour cream on a grilled Le Bus roll. Served with grilled red onion and zucchini tossed with a homemade dijon vinaigrette.
Meet my burger.
