Burgers con Radicchio

Burgers con Radicchio combines the rich flavors of grilled beef infused with Italian herbs and the unique bitterness of radicchio, creating a delightful and hearty burger experience. Topped with a zesty lemon aioli and served on a crusty bun, this dish is a delicious twist on the classic burger.

Ingredients

• Ground beef (kosher) - 400 grams
• Radicchio - 1 small head, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Italian seasoning - 1 teaspoon
• Hamburger buns (kosher) - 2
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Mayonnaise - 2 tablespoons
• Parmesan cheese - 30 grams, grated

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped radicchio, minced garlic, parsley, olive oil, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
2. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about 2 cm thick.
3. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if desired.
4. While the burgers are cooking, prepare the lemon aioli by mixing the mayonnaise and lemon juice in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
6. Once the burgers are cooked to your liking, place them on the toasted buns, top with grated Parmesan cheese, and drizzle with the lemon aioli.
7. Serve immediately, garnished with extra radicchio leaves if desired.
