Serves 4 (As Sliders, can serve 5 to 6 if 2 patties per person)
Ingredients
- 700g ground beef
- 250g white mushrooms
- 4 bacon slices
- 4 burger buns
- 2 tablespoons Favuzzi truffle puree (Sold at The Olive Oil Co.)
- 4 mozzarella slices
- 1 tomato
- 4 lettuce leaves
- The Olive Oil Co. Medium or Robust Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Favuzzi Bologna Sea Salt or Fleur de Del (Sold at The Olive Oil Co.)
Preparation
- Take the meat out of the refrigerator 20 minutes before cooking and season with a pinch of fleur de sel and pepper.
- Fire up your barbecue.
- Slice the mushrooms and sauté them in olive oil for 5 minutes in a pan over medium heat.
- Wash and dry the 4 lettuce leaves.
- Shape the meat into 4 patties.
- When the barbecue is hot, start to cook the patties and bacon.
- Meanwhile, cut the tomato into thin slices.
- Add the truffle puree to the mushrooms in the pan and mix well.
- When the meat is almost done, put the burger buns on the grill, with a cheese slice(optional) on the bottom half. This will warm the buns and melt the cheese.
- It’s time to put your burgers together: top the cheese with a meat patty, a spoonful or two of the mushroom and truffle mixture, 2 thin tomato slices, some bacon and a lettuce leaf.
