Main Course
This Berbere beef burger gives the classic a bold Ethiopian twist. Ground beef is mixed with garlic, ginger and our organic Berbere Spice, a warm, smoky blend of chili, fenugreek and cardamom, then topped with Berbere-sautéed onions, fresh tomato and a cool layer of cream cheese on a toasted bun. A little spicy, a little sweet, and ready in about 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon Organic Ginger, ground
- 4 teaspoons Organic Berbere Spice, divided
- 1 Spanish onion, cut into 4 thick slices
- 3 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 buns, sliced
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 1 tomato, sliced
Directions
In a bowl, combine beef, egg, garlic, ginger and 1 tablespoon Berbere Spice.
Form into 4 patties. Set aside.
In a large skillet, sauté the onion in 2 tablespoons butter. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 teaspoon of berbere spice. Season to taste, with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate.
In the same skillet, cook the patties in the remaining butter over medium-high heat, 4-5 minutes per side, until cooked through (160°F). Season with salt and pepper. Remove from pan.
Place cut buns, face down in the same skillet, and let grill for about 2 minutes.
