Ingredients

• Ground beef - 250 grams
• Roasted red bell pepper - 1, chopped
• Jalapeño pepper - 1, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Burger buns - 2, kosher
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Mayonnaise - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 1 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 1 tablespoon, chopped

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, roasted red bell pepper, jalapeño, garlic, onion, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.
2. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
4. While the patties are cooking, prepare the garlic aioli by mixing mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped parsley in a small bowl. Set aside.
5. Toast the burger buns in the skillet for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
6. Assemble the burgers by spreading the garlic aioli on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the cooked patty, and topping with additional roasted red bell pepper or fresh greens if desired. Place the top bun on and serve immediately.
