Talk Of The Town Superburgers Recipes

TOWN TALK DINER - BRAT BURGER

Steps:

• Combine all the spice mix ingredients.
• To make the burgers: Toss the pork shoulder and fat back with the salt and the spice mix and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Grind through the coarse die of a grinder and form into four 8-ounce patties.
• To make the spicy kraut: Soak the store-bought kraut in water for 20 minutes, drain excess water. Render the bacon; add the onion and saute until translucent. Add white wine and cook off the alcohol. Add sauerkraut and spices and enough water to cover. Simmer for 1 hour. Cool. Mix in garlic-chili paste.
• To assemble: Cook burger patties until medium-well. Melt 2 slices of cheeses on top of each patty. Place on toasted bun and top with spicy kraut.

SUPER BURGERS

Steps:

• Mix meats, parsley and powders in a large bowl.
• Divide mixture into 8 equal portions (6 oz ea).
• Gently form into the desired sized disk, generally about 4" diameter, 3/4" thick seems to work pretty good.
• Don't overwork the meat, it takes the tenderness out of it.
• At this point you can place the burgers, wrapped in plastic, in the fridge for a day or so without any change of flavor.
• Could be frozen as well.
• Press your thumb in the center of each burger to form a depression about 1/2 the thickness of the burger.
• This prevents the football burger problem that everyone squeezes the burger for.
• Right before cooking brush a bit of olive oil on the burgers and season with garlic salt and pepper.
• Cook on a VERY hot grill, about 4 minutes.
• Extinguish flare-ups as required.
• Turn once and cook for an additional 4 minutes for a hot pink center (3 minutes for rare, 5 minutes for well done) Add cheese (if desired) for the last 60 seconds or so.
• The key here is to form a crust that will seal in the juices and yield a juicy, flavorful burger.
• Can also be done in a hot cast iron skillet on the stove.
