Burgundy Mushroom Burger

The Burgundy Mushroom Burger is a delightful Paleo twist on the classic French burger, featuring juicy beef patties topped with rich, savory Burgundy wine-infused mushrooms. This dish combines earthy flavors with a satisfying texture, creating a gourmet experience at home.

Ingredients

• Ground beef - 400 grams
• Mushrooms (cremini or button) - 200 grams, sliced
• Red onion - 1 medium, sliced
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Burgundy wine - 100 ml
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh thyme - 1 teaspoon, chopped
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Romaine lettuce leaves - 4, for serving
• Avocado - 1 medium, sliced
• Mustard - 2 tablespoons, for serving

Steps

1. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes until they start to brown.
2. Add the minced garlic, sliced red onion, and thyme to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the onions are soft.
3. Pour in the Burgundy wine and season with salt and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes, until the wine reduces and the mushrooms are well-coated. Remove from heat.
4. While the mushrooms are cooking, form the ground beef into two patties, seasoning with salt and pepper on both sides.
5. In a separate skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until preferred doneness is reached.
6. To assemble the burgers, place each patty on a romaine lettuce leaf, top with the Burgundy mushroom mixture, sliced avocado, and a smear of mustard. Serve immediately.
