Who doesn’t love burgers especially if they are fresh out from the grill. These burgers are awesome ,the combination of the mushrooms with the caramelized onions and the garlic and parsley in the aioli makes these burgers burst with flavors.You can make these burgers with any kind of cheese you like,but swiss or provolone would be the best.
Ingredients:
Makes 4 burgers
For burgers:
1 lb. Ground beef ( I chose ground sirloin)
1 1/2 tbsp. finely diced onions
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/8 tsp. chilli
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
For carmalized Onions:
1 1/2 medium onions sliced
2 tbsp. olive oil
For Aioli:
1/2 cup mayo
1 tsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
1/2 tbsp. parsley
1 garlic clove minced
For Mushrooms:
8 oz. portabella mushrooms ( cut to 3 parts lengthwise and then sliced)
1/4 tsp. thyme
2 tbsp. butter
salt
black pepper
Other Ingredients:
4 Burger Buns
4 slices of provolone cheese
Directions:
To make Aioli, mix all ingredients with a whisk and place in fridge until ready to use.
To make the carmalized onions, heat olive oil over medium high heat and saute onions until golden in color about 6 minutes. Add 3 tbsp. water.Reduce heat to low ,cover and cook until all water is aborbed about 20 minutes.
To make mushrooms , heat butter over medium high heat saute mushrooms for 2 minutes, then reduce heat to medium salt and pepper mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes until mushrooms are tender.
To make burgers, Mix ground beef with onions and spices. Form into four patties. Grill on medium heat about 4 to 5 minutes ,flip and top with cheese and continue grilling for about 4 to 5 minutes.
Grill buns until charred , spread aioli on the top half of the bun.
And put the burger patty on the bottom half topped with carmalized onions and mushrooms.
The buns are soft and fluffy inside, if you eat them while fresh from the oven, it will have a crust or you can cover them and wait until they are all soft. I will also include the recipe Lebanese style patties.
