Burger Month Entry – Foster Dahlet's Awesome Burger

[Foster Dahlet]

Mrs. Foster Dahlet first made me these French burgers 15 years ago....still one of my faves.  We decided to do it all on the kettle tonight.


First, I had to get the potatoes cooked. 


Meanwhile, Mrs. Foster Dahlet prepared the onions...


....the shallots


....the thyme


...and the eggs


Other ingredients include flour, parsley, lots of butter, oil & red wine


buttered up the skillet


softened up the onions, between 5-10 minutes


removed them from the skillet, and let them cool down


added onions to 80/20 ground chuck


then added butter, thyme, & eggs


made patties and dredged them in the flour


patties ready for cooking


butter and oil in the pan


three minutes per side


remove burgers and keep foil over them, remove oil and butter from the skillet


add butter, shallots, and red wine to skillet


when thick enough, add parsley


plated burgers with the shallot/red wine reduction, potatoes, and salad


juicy, and you can see all the goodness inside

I can tell you they were very tasty!

Looks great, and nice teamwork. Anything with red wine is fine with me.

Thank you @Thrillho .  My wife took so many pictures to document the cook, that I began to feel like I was auditioning for Food Network!

Thank you @WNC.  It had a nice crunch on the outside, & was uber tender on the inside.  FWIW, while I did have a nice glass of Malbec with the dish, the beer I was sippin' during the cook was Highland Brewing Comapny's Gaelic Ale.  I am sure you are familiar with that one.
