Balsamic caramelized onions

  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 pcs onions
  • 3 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 ts Suger
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 200 ml Water

Burger Sauce

  • 100 ml Crème Fraiche
  • 5 tbsp Ketchup
  • 5 tbsp Thousand Island dressing
  • 2 tsp Cognac Optional
  • Salt and Pepper

Other Ingredients

  • 4 pcs Burger Buns
  • 4 slices Cheese Cheddar or other
  • 4 leaves Green Salad I prefer Iceberg, but you can use any salad
  • 2 pcs Tomatoes Cut in slices
  • 8 slices Cucumber

Instructions

Balsamic Caramelized Onions

  • Cut the onion in half and then in thin slices
  • Fry the onion in the olive oil at medium/low heat for 10-15 minutes. Please make sure the heat is not too strong; The onion is supposed to become soft and very slightly colored, but not brown.
  • Add the balsamic vinegar and sugar and continue to cook for a short minute
  • Add the water and then it cook until all the water has disappeared
  • Keep in a bowl covered with a plate to keep it hot

Burger Steak

  • Chop the onions finely. You can choose to add them raw to the meat or as I prefer, to fry them over medium/low heat for approx 10 minutes.
  • Take off the Coriander leaves and finely shop them
  • Cut the chili in half on the long side and remove the seed. Chop the chili finely.
  • Add all the ingredients together in a bol and work it together with your hands before to form 4 burger shaped steaks
  • Cook either in the pan or on the BBQ (For a medium steak cook for approx 3-4 minutes on each side)
  • Add the cheese slices on top of the burgers once you have turned them over and let it melt. You may want to add a lid shortly

Burger Sauce

  • Add all the ingredients in a small bowl and mix with a spoon

Notes

To assembly your burger, put a tbsp of burger sauce inside the bottom and top part of the burger bun. Place your leaf of salad and slices of tomato. Add the Burger steak topped with the caramelized onions and cucumber. You can serve it with french fries and/or a salad.
