Herbed burgers with caramelized onions are delicious sandwich fillings, but they can be served as a main dish too. Pair it with salad and some red wine and you are good to go.

 

Serves 6

Ingredients:

1kg minced beef

1/4 cup sour cream

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Salt and pepper to taste

For the caramelized onions:

1tablespoon olive oil

3 medium red onions, sliced into rings

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

2 teaspoons honey

 

Combine the minced beef, sour cream, thyme, basil and rosemary in a large mixing bowl. Mix well and season it with salt and pepper. Divide it into six parts and shape them into patties. Place them on a tray and refrigerate them for an hour or up to overnight.

Next, prepare the caramelized onions by heating the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook it for 20 minutes or until the onions are soft and browned. Stir in the vinegar and honey. Cook it for another 20 minutes.  Remove from heat and set aside.

Heat the grill or the frying pan. Brush it with oil. Cook the burgers for 6-8 minutes per side or until it is cooked and browned. Turn only once.  Place the cooked burger patties on a serving platter or individual plates. Top them with caramelized onions before serving.
