This week's Wednesday with Donna Hay recipe is my lunch/brunch choice - Beef Burgers! I adore a good burger, and this one has all the trimmings that I like - namely, onion rings and beetroot. So many burgers come sans beetroot, which in my books is a crime. The juicy beetroot goes a treat with the beef, and is a must for me.
As you can see from the photos, Donna's recipe makes a very tall burger - you almost need a flip-top head to take a bite of it all in one go. That's not a complaint though! I did find the patties a little crumbly, but that could just have been me. I used rocket instead of iceberg lettuce on my burger, and spruced it up by spreading the bun with Emilia's onion jam, and a splash of barbecue sauce on the beef patty.
I made a second burger using Donna's patties, this time with cheese in lieu of onion rings, but using Emilia's onion jam on the bun again, with fries on the side:
This one was pretty good too.
Next week: Red Wine Osso Bucco

Oh, I just love a good burger...and both options sound pretty amazing~
Mmm now I feel like burgers for dinner! :D And hehe sometimes I wish I had a flip top head for burgers :P
Once again I want to eat at your home!
It's been awhile since I've had a really good burger. Yours looks very good. Funny comment about needing a flip top head!
This was a good burger - even without the beetroot (whatever that is!!) Nice Pick.
The barbecue sauce on top is the finishing touch for what looks like a fabulous burger plus. Good choice.Thanks.
and this burger look awesome!!
Hi Margaret, beetroot is a purple root vegetable that tastes great grated, roasted or sold sliced and pickled - the latter is I believe what Donna means.
I like good burgers too :) don't know why I've never tried hehe maybe i should try this looks like a simple and yummy recipe ~
Okay, I can't decide which one I like best, so I will need one of each! They both look so good. I had to look up beetroot as I wasn't sure what it was...turns out it is what we call beets so I knew the guys would never go for that as they are way finicky about the beets. I thought maybe I might give it a go sometime when they are not around now that I know what beetroot is! You are right about that being a tall burger...I better make some adjustments when I make mine as that would be just a whole lot in one's mouth at a time. lol
