Spanish Hamburger Recipes

SPANISH HAMBURGER ( SLOPPY JOES )

Steps:

• Brown hamburger with onion and celery. Flavor with salt and pepper to taste. You may want to use 1/8 tsp cayenne or white pepper to add some heat. A few drops of tobasco sauce could also be used, or some red pepper flakes.
• Drain hamburger; in same skillet, add tomato soup, garlic salt, and water. Stir to combine, and simmer for 20 minutes to half an hour or until you're ready to serve.
• This can also be made ahead of time and reheated, or placed in a slow cooker to be kept warm.
• Serve in warmed hamburger buns.

SPANISH CHORIZO BURGER

Steps:

• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, gently toss together the chuck and sirloin in a large bowl, making sure not to overwork the mixture.
• Combine the paprika, coriander seed, garlic, brown sugar, crushed red pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the beef and fold gently to combine. Form the beef into four 3/4-inch-thick patties, each about 4 inches in diameter. Sprinkle both sides generously with salt and a few grinds of pepper.
• Place the patties in the hot skillet; do not press down with a spatula. When the patties are seared and browned on one side, flip and cook on the other side until browned, about 3 1/2 minutes per side for medium-rare.
• Assemble the burgers by topping with sliced roasted red peppers and using your favorite buns and condiments.

SPANISH BURGER WITH PICKLED SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Make the spiced butter: Melt the butter over low heat in a small saucepan. Add the harissa and garlic and cook 1 minute. Remove from the heat, cover and let sit 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
• Make the pickled saffron shallots: Bring the vinegar, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt and the saffron to a boil in a small saucepan set over medium heat; remove from the heat and let cool 10 minutes. Put the shallots in a small bowl, pour the vinegar mixture over them, cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.
• Make the aioli: Combine the mayonnaise, harissa, smoked paprika, piquillo peppers, anchovy and lemon juice in a blender and blend until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
• Make the crispy prosciutto: Heat the canola oil in a small saute pan over medium heat until it shimmers. Add 1 slice of the prosciutto at a time to the pan and cook until just crisp. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
• Make the burgers: Combine the chuck and fat in a meat grinder and grind coarsely into a large bowl (or put the ground beef in a large bowl). Mix in some salt and pepper. Divide the meat into 4 equal patties.
• Heat a cast-iron pan over high heat until smoking. Add the canola oil and burgers and cook until the bottoms are golden brown and a crust has formed, about 4 minutes. Flip over and begin brushing with the spiced butter. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown and the meat is cooked to medium, 4 more minutes. Top the burgers with the fontina, add a little water to the pan, cover quickly and cook until the cheese is completely melted, about 1 minute.
• Spread some aioli on the top and bottom buns. Place a burger on each bottom bun; top with some of the pickled shallots, followed by a slice of crispy prosciutto and some arugula. Add the top buns and serve.

Add each ham-and-cheese bundle and fry, turning, until ham is crisped and cheese is beginning to melt. Allow to cool slightly, fold meat around each bundle to form hamburgers about 1 inch thick.
• Grill burgers for about 4 to 5 minutes a side or until just cooked through.

• Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and add the remaining onions, brown sugar, salt and pepper. Cook and stir for about 15 minutes until the onions are golden brown. Set aside.
• Preheat the grill for high heat. Form the meat into four patties, slightly larger than the buns.
• Place burgers on the grill, and cook for 5 minutes per side, or until well done. Split buns in half, and spread butter on the inside. Place on the grill to toast briefly.
• Place burgers onto buns, and top with caramelized onion and the roasted pepper ranch sauce. Sprinkle with a few shavings of manchego cheese, and place the top of the bun on top.
