Once you try these 13 burger recipes, the drive-thru just won’t hit the same
A chopped beef patty topped with a slice of melting cheese, the fresh crunch of lettuce, the red of a tomato slice, a few rings of onion, all tucked between two soft buns: whatever our food philosophy, a good hamburger is hard to resist.
A bit of background to start: this icon of American cuisine actually comes from Europe. The “hamburger steak” originated in Hamburg and was brought to the United States by German immigrants. Made wildly popular by diners and fast-food chains, the burger has since been blamed for just about everything: too greasy, too sugary, too processed… Criticisms that are often fair when we’re talking about industrial versions; but much less so when you make it at home, starting with the bread.
Because the choice of bun is crucial; and the best option is, of course, to make it yourself. Flour, baker’s yeast, salt and water form the base of any good recipe. Then you add a little fat (oil or butter), some milk (dairy or plant-based, like soy), and a touch of sugar for softness and color. A sprinkle of sesame seeds on top and you’re already halfway to burger heaven.
The classic ground beef patty can be swapped out without losing the spirit of the dish: breaded chicken cutlets, crispy bacon (often added on top of the beef by the most indulgent), or even fish: hake, salmon, or herring for those who like Nordic flavors. Vegetarian versions use plant-based patties instead of meat.
On the cheese side, cheddar is the undisputed star, but gouda, Emmental or mozzarella also do a great job depending on the style you’re going for. For toppings, arugula, sweet-and-sour pickles, cornichons or even capers can bring a little extra kick. And then there are the sauces: ketchup, mustard, homemade mayo, tartar sauce… you mix and match depending on the patty and toppings.
And since good food makes you thirsty, you can absolutely pair a burger with wine: a light red from the Loire or Burgundy works beautifully... or you can stay on this side of the Atlantic and pour a Californian red. Of course, a cold beer is always a classic option too.
Homemade or dressed up, with or without bun, with beef, chicken, fish or veggies, the hamburger remains what it has always been: a simple idea, endlessly customizable, that brings together comfort and indulgence in a single bite.
