How do u make a AWESOME MUSHROOM & Swiss BURGER?!
Answers: While the burger is cooking, sautee mushroom, onions and some Seasoned salt in a pan with butter. When the burger is done melt the Swiss cheese on top of the hot burger, place on a toasted bun and top with the mushroom and onion mixture. Serve with a kosher dill pickle and fries on the side.
To the other respondent's answers I'd add "stick a couple slices of fried bacon in there"!
For the burger, you will need:
2 pounds brisket, ground
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 thin slices Swiss cheese
4 hamburger buns, split
Preheat a large cast-iron skillet to medium hot. Take a few paper towels and fold them several times to make a thick square. Blot a small amount of oil on the paper towel and carefully and quickly wipe the hot skillet to make a nonstick surface.
Season the ground meat in a bowl with salt and pepper. Give it about 3 turns in the bowl with your hands or a big spoon and it's done. Shape into 4 patties. When the skillet is hot, put the burgers on the skillet and cook 4 minutes on the first side and 5 for the second side for rare; 7 minutes per side for medium, adding the cheese during the final minute or 2 to melt. Remove the burgers to a plate. Rub the skillet with the folded paper towel again to clean it. Then toast the buns cut side down for about 1 minute, just to mark them. Serve the hamburgers in the buns with the accompaniments below.
Sauteed Mushrooms:
Saute 1 pound thickly sliced mushrooms in 1/4 cup olive oil with 2 sliced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves over super-high heat until nicely browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in a couple of drops fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavor.
Caramelized Onions:
Heat 2 tablespoons unsalted butter with 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add 2 onions, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook slowly until well caramelized, 15 to 20 minutes.
Tomatoes with Sea Salt and Chives:
Thickly slice 2 pounds red and yellow beefsteak tomatoes, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt and 1/2 bunch chopped fresh chives.
Bacon with Rosemary:
Lay out 1/2 pound sliced bacon on a baking sheet, strip leaves from 1 sprig rosemary and throw them on top with lots of cracked black pepper and roast at 400 degrees F until the bacon is crisp, about 10 minutes.
Herbed Horseradish Mayonnaise:
Stir together 1 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish, 1/4 cup freshly minced herbs such as parsley, basil, chives or scallion, 2 tablespoons olive oil, a little squeeze of lemon juice, and salt and pepper.
I also will add a recipe for oven fries. Mmmmhhh. Perfect with a burger like that!
For the oven fries:
2 russet potatoes, cut in 1/2 lengthwise, halves cut lengthwise into fourths to make 16 big, fat wedges
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Preheat a baking sheet in the hot oven for at least 5 minutes.
While the baking sheet is heating, toss the potatoes with the olive oil and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Then dump the potatoes out onto a baking sheet, spreading to a single layer. Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, shaking the pan every now and then, until the potatoes are cooked through, brown and crispy. Toss the fries in a big bowl with the parsley and cheese.
Incase you would like some ketchup for dipping, try these recipes for home-made ketchup. I added a few, so there will be a big space between each one!
Ketchup:
6 plum tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and diced
1/4 cup finely minced red onion, chopped, soaked in cold water for 30 minutes, drained and squeezed dry
1 teaspoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
Pinch ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 pounds very ripe tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 large clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
Pinch ground cinnamon
1/4 cup cider vinegar
Salt
Puree the tomatoes in a blender until smooth. Strain puree through a medium-mesh sieve, pressing with a rubber spatula to get out all of the juices. Discard any solids. Set tomato puree aside.
In a non-reactive saucepan heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes; do not allow to color. Add the tomato puree and all remaining ingredients except the vinegar and salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally at the beginning and more often towards the end of the cooking time, for about 1 hour or until thickened. Add the cider vinegar and salt and cook for 25 to 30 minutes more, until the consistency of ketchup. Adjust seasoning with salt if needed. Set aside to cool. Store in non-reactive airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cups coarsely chopped onion
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 pounds ripe plum tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup distilled white vinegar
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon ground celery seeds
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
In a large heavy pot heat the olive oil over moderate heat and cook the onion until golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the tomatoes, vinegar, corn syrup, cloves, allspice, mustard seeds, celery seeds, salt and pepper stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour. Pass the mixture through a food mill into a bowl and return to the pot. Bring the mixture back to a simmer and cook until very thick, stirring occasionally, about 45 minutes. Allow the ketchup to cool. The ketchup can be sealed in sterilized jars and kept indefinitely.
