Ingredients:
- 1 lb (500 g) Ground meat (beef, pork, or a mix)
- 3.5 oz (50 g) Onion, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Salt
- 1 tsp Ground black pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 1 handful Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2-4 tbsp All-purpose flour (or as needed)
- A drizzle of Extra virgin olive oil
- To taste Guacamole (use your favorite recipe)
- Thick slices Goat cheese (preferably without rind)
- Optional Oregano (for garnish)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Preparing the Meat Mixture:
-
Chop the base ingredients: In your Thermomix or food processor, place the onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and parsley. Blend for about 10 seconds on Speed 5-8 until finely chopped. If needed, blend longer until you achieve the desired consistency.
-
Combine with ground meat: In a large bowl, add the ground meat. Incorporate the chopped mixture thoroughly, mixing with a spoon or your hands (clean hands, of course!).
- Incorporate wet and dry ingredients: Add the egg and mix well. Gradually incorporate the 2-4 tbsp of flour until the mixture is juicy but firm enough to mold.
Resting and Forming:
-
Let it rest: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Ideally, let it sit overnight; however, if short on time, 30 minutes will suffice.
- Form mini burgers: With slightly damp hands, shape the mixture into small, round burgers about the size of a bite.
Cooking and Assembling:
-
Cook the burgers: Heat a grill or non-stick skillet with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook each mini burger for about 3 minutes on each side or until they reach your preferred doneness.
- Assemble the gourmet burgers: Once cooked, place each mini burger onto a plate, topping them with a teaspoon of guacamole and a slice of goat cheese. For an extra touch, sprinkle a bit of oregano on top.
Tips for Success:
- Make your own guacamole: While store-bought is convenient, freshly made will add a delightful, authentic taste. Mash ripe avocados with lime, tomato, onion, cilantro, and salt.
- Choose creamy goat cheese: A soft, rindless version melts beautifully when placed on warm burgers.
- Impressive presentation: Serve these mini burgers on small platters or wooden boards for a rustic and chic look.
- Creative variations: Try adding thin slices of jalapeño for some heat or a drizzle of honey over the goat cheese for a sweet contrast.
This gourmet mini burgers recipe is sure to impress your guests while bringing some delicious joy to your gatherings. Enjoy your culinary creation!
