Wonderburgers For Two Recipes

ELEGANT WILD BOAR BURGERS FOR TWO

Steps:

• In a non-stick or well-seasoned cast iron pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-low heat.
• Saute the chopped shallot for 2 minutes or until softened but not brown.
• Set aside.
• In a bowl, place the ground boar.
• Sprinkle the thyme and sage over top.
• Add the worcestershire sauce and pepper.
• Add the shallot and oil and mix with hands until well combined.
• (If you are making the burgers ahead of time, let the shallot cool completely before adding it to the burger mixture).
• Form into two patties about 1/3" thick.
• Broil or grill until well done, about 5-6 minutes per side.
• Divide cheese and place on burgers about 1 minute before they are done.
• Let burgers sit about five minutes before serving.
• Nice served with a spinach and mushroom salad with a white wine vinagrette.
• (A note about cambozola: It is a blue-veined brie and has a very mild blue flavour. You could probably substitute a mild blue cheese which will emphasize the sage, or a brie which will add richness. Experiment!).

DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER FOR A CROWD RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
• In a medium 8-inch (20-cm) cast-iron skillet, press down half of the ground beef with a spatula to mold into a patty. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place the cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and sear the patty until browned, about 4 minutes on each side.
• Remove the patty from the skillet and set aside. Repeat with remaining beef.
• Return the pan to low heat and add the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is caramelized, about 20 minutes.
• Add the garlic and spinach, stirring until the spinach is cooked down, about 5 minutes.
• Lay one sheet of puff pastry on a baking sheet and top with 1 patty.
• Layer 4 slices of cheese over the patty, then top with the caramelized onion mixture.
• Top with the remaining 4 slices of cheese and the other patty.
• Cover with the other sheet of puff pastry.
• Trim the edges of the pastry with a knife and discard.
• Crimp the edges of the pastry, then press with a fork to seal.
• Brush the top and sides of the pastry with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through.
• Slice and serve with additional toppings of your choice.
• Enjoy!
