Homemade hamburger : grandma's recipe

The German origins of the hamburger tell of a rigid and complete procedure, capable of offering a well-defined and recognizable dish today. But, how did we behave years ago?

The countryside was sovereign, underdeveloped cities were a rarity, even a distant place where young people went in search of fortune. The cuisine was based on what the land offered , and it was then that recipes that we today define as "traditional" were born: passatelli, ossobuco with polenta, Milanese risotto and the hamburger.

Once upon a time, it was called “schiacciata di carne” , you went to the town market or to the small butcher's shop and bought the minced meat.

Once at home, the housewives prepared what we now call homemade hamburger, adding a little salt to the minced meat and, if the garden allowed it, a few leaves of aromatic herb. It was a simple dish, based on meat and tasty for the little ones.

Over time the recipe has evolved, including multiple ingredients, becoming - in some cases - a strong point of fast food.

Recipe

The ingredients that make up the homemade hamburger are few and genuine:

• 300g of choice minced meat
• 2 teaspoons of grated Parmigiano Reggiano
• a few leaves of parsley and tarragon
• a pinch of pepper
• a pinch of fine salt
• extra virgin olive oil

Required:

• 1 bowl
• 4 sheets of baking paper
• 1 rolling pin
• possibly 1 hamburger press

The procedure

In a bowl, place the minced meat of your choice Carne Genuina , the grated cheese, pepper and salt , start mixing and then add the parsley and tarragon .

If you notice that the dough is struggling to come together, add a few drops of extra virgin olive oil to make the dough softer. Once the mixture is uniform, divide it into two equal sections - adjust by arm.

Using your clamshell hand, compact the section to create a circular shape with a height of a couple of centimetres.

Cover both sides of the homemade hamburger with baking paper and, using a rolling pin , flatten the dough to give a flattened and regular shape, typical of the dish. To make the burgers more compact, let them rest in the refrigerator for at least an hour before proceeding with cooking.

Cooking can be done in a pan: with a drop of oil, on the grill or on the barbecue.

Choose the option you prefer, and if you want to make your dish unique, add onions to create the Oklahoma Onion Hamburger or you can significantly increase the flavor by preferring sauces and thus create the American Burger .
