It’s a Party Party Weekend
It’s a Party Party Weekend - For your grilling pleasure, particularly if you are a frou-frou sort, MSN offers 10 gourmet hamburger recipes. All of them assume you’ve bought into the Official Ongoing Ground Meat Scare and will cook your burgers for 14 to 18(!) minutes. They tend to involve things like cilantro and porcini mushrooms. Also, the interface for the story is itself a bit much. Me, I’m a burger minimalist. Give me good ground meat and a hot grill and even ketchup and mustard are more than I require. The planet’s best foods - a good burger or steak; fresh berries - taste best unadorned. IMHO, you know? For my burgers, I like a rub, comprising
1tbl black pepper
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp mustard powder
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp marjoram
Mix it up good in a custard or tea cup. Dump onto a plate or cutting board and spread evenly. Dredge burgers on both sides. Grill until medium rare, or, if you insist, longer. Serve on a soft, whole wheat bun.
