- SICILIAN BURGERS
- Preparation time: 25 minutes
- Cooking time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 4 servings
-
-
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup finely minced onions
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons sweet Marsala wine
- 1 small bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 pound ground chuck
- 1/2 pound ground pork
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup each: dry white bread crumbs, grated imported Romano cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
- 4 onion rolls
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce
-
- 1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in small non-stick skillet over
- medium-high heat. When hot, add onions and cook until translucent, 3 to 4
- minutes. Add wine, Marsala, bay leaf, 1 teaspoon pepper and 1/2 teaspoon
- salt. Heat to a boil, then simmer until most of liquid evaporates, 9 to 10
- minutes. Discard bay leaf. Transfer to a plate and refrigerate until cold.
-
- 2. Gently but thoroughly combine ground beef, ground pork, chilled onion
- mixture, egg, bread crumbs, cheese, parsley and chopped basil. Form into
- four 7-ounce, 1 1/4-inch thick burgers. Cover with plastic wrap and
- refrigerate up to several hours.
-
- 3. Just before grilling, lightly season burgers with salt and pepper. Grill
- burgers over medium grill or charcoal fire. Cook to desired doneness: 6 to
- 7 minutes on each side for medium, and 9 to 10 minutes a side for
- medium-well.
-
- 4. Remove burgers from grill. Lightly brush buns with remaining olive oil
- and toast, oiled side down, on grill or in non-stick skillet, about 1
- minute. Serve burgers on buns topped with marinara sauce.
