I am pretty sure that caramelized onions on anything would be good, so it didn’t surprise me that I absolutely loved these burgers. And, I’m pretty sure that these burgers would be good without the caramelized onions, but, you really don’t want to leave them out. Together they make a delicious dinner.
The patties need time in the fridge to chill, so you will have to prepare a bit in advance. But, you could form them earlier in the day and be ahead of the game. I served these burgers with the caramelized onions and avocado. I also melted some fresh mozzarella on top. If you want to spice things up, use a hot sausage. It will give these a nice kick. My burgers took a little longer than 3 minutes to cook per side.
1 pound ground chicken
6 ounces chorizo
2 cloves of garlic, minced or pressed
1/3 cup fresh basil, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Mix ingredients together and shape into patties. Cover and refrigerate 40 minutes. Brush pan with oil and heat over medium high heat. Add patties to pan and cook until golden brown with crispy edges, about 3 minutes per side.
caramelized onions
1 large yellow onion
1/4 teaspoon salt
ground pepper to taste
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon butter
Cut onion in half and then slice into 1/8 inch half rounds. Heat butter and oil in a large saute pan on medium heat. Add the onions, salt and pepper and saute for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes, until onions are browned and caramelized. Allow onions to cool.
