Hamburguesa de Albahaca

The Hamburguesa de Albahaca is a savory and aromatic gluten-free burger that combines the freshness of basil with juicy beef, creating a delightful fusion of flavors. Topped with creamy goat cheese and served on a gluten-free bun, this dish is a perfect choice for a light yet satisfying meal.

Ingredients

• Ground beef - 300 grams
• Fresh basil leaves - 30 grams (about 1 cup, packed)
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Gluten-free burger buns - 2
• Goat cheese - 50 grams, crumbled
• Tomato - 1 medium, sliced
• Romaine lettuce - 2 leaves
• Balsamic glaze - for drizzling

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped basil leaves, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.
2. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties, about 1.5 cm thick.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the burger patties and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
4. While the patties are cooking, toast the gluten-free buns in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown.
5. Once the patties are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
6. To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the burger patty, sliced tomato, crumbled goat cheese, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
7. Top with the other half of the bun, serve immediately, and enjoy your Hamburguesa de Albahaca!
