Don't worry, by de-constructed i mean no bun. Haha :)
Ingredients: 400 g minced beef meat - try to get low fat meat, half an onion - finely chopped, dried herbs, 2 garlic cloves - crushed, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, 1 egg. To serve: low fat cheese slices, mix of mushrooms.
Mix the meat with the onion, garlic, dried herbs, egg, salt pepper, thyme, smoked paprika.
Mix everything together with your hands, come on, don't be scared, it's not gonna bite! Mix well for 10 min, until the meat is perfectly smooth.
Let it rest in the fridge for at least half an hour.
Before you grill the burger, start preparing the mushrooms. I always choose a mix of mushrooms, each of them brings a different flavour.
Heat a tsp of butter in a pan, then add the mushrooms.
Heat the grill. Add the burgers when the grill is really hot. Depending on the thickness of the burgers, it may take around 10 min to grill. I like mine rather thick.
Basically, the burgers are done when there is no more juices coming out of them when you press them down.
Do not turn them around too much.
When ready, set aside, put the cheese slices on top and leave them on the grill to rest.
At this stage, your mushrooms should look like this:
And your burgers like this:
Serve warm with the mushrooms, home-made wedges and a salad.
