Last year, McDonald introduced a new line of burgers in Italy appropriately named McItaly. In the vegetarian version, they use an artichoke spread and Asiago cheese and in the beefy one, onions and smoked pancetta. I would like to suggest McDonald my version of Burger all’Italiana.

Instead of a spread or sliced tomatoes, I use roasted peppers seasoned with extra-virgin olive oil, fresh parsley and minced garlic served on crusty bread baguette.
720 g / 1 1/2 lb lean ground beef (I prefer ground chuck)
1 bread baguette, cut in half
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Preheat the barbecue. No barbecue, preheat a seasoned, cast iron grill.
Lightly oil the barbecue grill or the cast iron grill and cook the burgers for about 8 to 10 minutes on each side. Not sure if done, check the internal temperature of the meat with an instant-read thermometer. It is done when the temperature is 70°C / 160°F.
Cut the baguette into 4 pieces. Cut each piece in half horizontally. Place the burger in the baguette and pile on the roasted peppers.

Not only it's delicious, it's healthy.

ReplyDeleteWe love a good burger, especially when accompanied with roasted peppers. Not any peppers though, I patiently wait for our garden peppers.
