Moldavian Burger
The recipe is based on Moldavian
Parjoale
For the patty:
800g minced beef
200g pork
2 carrots
1 onion finely chopped
6 garlic cloves, crushed
dried annuums flakes (cayenne, thai, .. )
1 egg
olive oil
Grind 200g of pork meat. Mix it with beef, I had the minced beef already patty shaped, but I threw it in the grinder anyway.
It's easier to mix them afterwards.
Pick about 10 or so dried annuums (mostly cayenne and thai) and crush them into flakes.
Take 2 carrots, 1 onion and finely chop them.
Crush the garlic with the garlic press.
Heat a pan with a drop of olive oil and throw in the carrots, onion and the garlic.
Sauté them quickly for 5 mins and it to the meat mix.
Mix them well and add one egg for binding.
Mix all together and form the patties.
I only used a part of this mix to make 4 patties. Ideally you should use 20% of pork and 80% beef.
The burger:
1 hamburger bun
1 lettuce
1 tomato
2 cheddar cheese slices
Comté cheese
1 onion sliced
Grill 2 patties to desired temp. Put one thick slice of Comté cheese on one of the burgers.
Join the burgers together, cook on both sides.
I preheated the cheese to melt quicker, this helps avoiding getting the burger too cooked.
Finally add salt to taste.
Cut the bun in half, toast it.
Add 1 cheddar cheese slice, lettuce, onion slices to taste.
Add 2-3 tomato slices then top with the patty.
Add one final cheddar cheese slice.
Bon appétit.
