What?!


What is a Chimichurri you ask? Well it's not the sauce from Argentina some of you may know about . Imagine a soft bun, a patty, grilled tomatoes and onions, cabbage and dollops of mayonnaise and ketchup. It's messy, greasy, and one of the tastiest things you'll ever have. Simply put, it's a Dominican hamburger. But what a burger it is! Here is my attempt to make a healthier version of this amazing burger.
Ingredients:


  • 4 hamburger buns

  • 2 lbs ground turkey

  • 1/2 tsp crushed garlic

  • 1 large onion cut into rings

  • 1 large onion cut into small cubes

  • 2 large tomatoes cut into slices

  • 2 cups shredded cabbage

  • 1 tbs Worcestershire sauce

  • 2 tsp oil

  • salt and pepper

  • oregano

  • ketchup

  • mayonnaise
Preparation:
  1. Mix meat, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, onion cubes, and add a pinch of salt, a pinch of oregano, and a pinch of pepper. Divide meat into 4 patties. Brush a frying pan with the oil and heat. Cook the patties, rotating until well done.
  2. Briefly grill tomatoes and onion rings. Turn down the heat and briefly cook the cabbage. Reapply some oil to the pan and warm up the bread.

  3. Mix ketchup and mayonnaise (fry sauce as it's called in the west).

  4. Assemble the hamburger and garnish with ketchup and mayonnaise.

I will have to try that! What I want is some Dominican habichuelas con arroz, like I used to have at your house in NY! Can you give me a recipe for that? I would love to attempt to make it! I'm so glad you joined the blogging world!
