Description

Morel mushrooms on a burger … heaven on a bun!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE ONIONS:
  • 1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 whole Large, White Onion, Julienned
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ¼ teaspoons Black Pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Stout Craft Beer
  • FOR THE MUSHROOMS:
  • 8 ounces, weight Morel Mushrooms
  • 2 Tablespoons All-purpose Flour
  • 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Parsley, Finely Chopped
  • FOR THE BURGERS:
  • 1-½ pound Organic Ground Beef
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Black Pepper
  • 4 ounces, weight White Cheddar Cheese, Sliced
  • 4  Hamburger Buns

Preparation

For the onions:
Heat a skillet over medium heat, and add the olive oil and onions. Cook for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions are soft and starting to turn a golden brown color (caramelized). Add the salt, pepper and brown sugar, and stir until combined. De-glaze the pan by stirring in the stout, and cook until all of the beer is absorbed, about 4-5 minutes. Set aside.

For the mushrooms:
To clean the morels, start by cutting them in half. Quickly run under cool water, and use a soft-bristled toothbrush to clean their numerous little cavities and rid them of any grit. Dry them gently with paper towels. Place the mushrooms in a small bowl, and sprinkle in the flour. Cover with plastic wrap,and shake gently to coat. Bring a skillet up to temperature on medium heat, then add the butter. Add the mushrooms, and cook, stirring gently for about 7 minutes. Season with salt and parsley, gently stir again, remove from heat and place mushrooms in a bowl for later use.

For the burgers:
Shape the ground beef into four equal patties (should be 6 ounces each), and indent the middle with your finger (prevents against burger bulge). Return the mushroom pan to the stove and bring it up to it’s highest temperature. You should have enough residual butter in there for the burgers. Turn on your broiler also.

While the pan comes up to temperature, season the patties with salt and pepper. Add burgers into the hot pan. Sear the burgers for three minutes on each side for a medium burger (longer for more well done), and place on a rimmed cookie sheet. Top the burgers with the sliced cheese, and place under the broiler until the cheese is just melted, about 1-2 minutes, depending on how melted you like your cheese. Remove from oven.

Split the burger buns, and build up your burger with the patty on the bottom bun, then top it with stout glazed onions and finally the mushrooms. Top with the crown of the bun and devour the monster!
