Salsiccia Burger

The Salsiccia Burger is a delightful Italian-inspired dish featuring flavorful sausage patties, topped with fresh basil and creamy mozzarella, all while keeping it keto-friendly. This savory burger is a perfect low-carb alternative for a satisfying meal.

Ingredients

• Italian sausage (bulk, no casing) - 300 grams
• Mozzarella cheese (sliced) - 100 grams
• Fresh basil leaves - 15 grams
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - ½ teaspoon
• Black pepper - ½ teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Romaine lettuce leaves (for wrapping) - 4 large leaves
• Cherry tomatoes (halved) - 100 grams

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the bulk Italian sausage with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Divide the sausage mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, about 1.5 cm thick.
3. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the sausage patties and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and golden brown.
4. During the last minute of cooking, place the mozzarella slices on top of the patties and cover the skillet with a lid to melt the cheese.
5. While the patties are cooking, wash the romaine lettuce leaves and cherry tomatoes.
6. Once the patties are cooked and the cheese is melted, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a minute.
7. To assemble, place each sausage patty on a large romaine lettuce leaf, top with fresh basil leaves and halved cherry tomatoes, then wrap the lettuce around the patty to serve.
