Braised Burger?

There’s this place been wanting to try for several months now. A little neighborhood “hole in the wall”.

Here’s the buzz:

Instead of the “normal” grilled or fried burger, this place braises the meat. What!?

Thought I’d give it a try at home today.

Now, disclaimer, I used a frozen patty, which may have made the difference, but that’s what was in the freezer.

Did not have the ingredients to make a proper “jus” so winged it with a miso and whiskey “jus”. Hee hee.

Braised the patty for about 15 minutes while I prepped tomorrow’s lunch ingredients for The Cat.

Started with a multi-grain ciabatta roll.

Braising the burger gave it a different texture. Kinda like steamed pork hash, Chinese style. Not bad. Still want to try Burgers and Things for a professional take on the technique. As I said, used a frozen patty which definitely contributed to the experience. But, try try.

Enjoy. Eat well.
