Because I can’t barbecue on my balcony — and I really miss a GOOD hamburger — I heard about a completely different way to cook one.
Never in my right mind did I think I would boil a hamburger. But I tried it, and I couldn’t believe how delicious and juicy it turned out.
I happened to be having my hamburger with an artichoke, so I started by filling a pan with plenty of water and adding garlic, salt and pepper. I cooked the artichoke for a little over an hour, until it was done.
After removing the artichoke, I kept the seasoned water at medium-high heat and placed the hamburger directly into the boiling water.
Cook the hamburger for about 5 minutes.
While that’s cooking, put the olive oil, garlic and seasonings into a small frying pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the hamburger from the water and place it into the hot frying pan. Brown it for about one minute on each side.
That’s it!
Pull it out and ENJOY!
I couldn’t believe how delicious and juicy the hamburger was.
And there’s another bonus — cleanup is a breeze!
I also think I saved a few calories cooking it this way.
Give it a try and let me know what you think!
