Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef (80-20 blend)
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 50 grams Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter (for frying)
- 4 pieces Rye burger buns
- 3 tablespoons Lingonberry jam
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 4 leaves Butter lettuce
- 0.5 English cucumber, thinly sliced
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, fresh dill, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to maintain tenderness.
Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about 2 cm thick. Press an indent into the center of each patty using your thumb to ensure even cooking.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted and slightly bubbling, place the patties in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until they reach your desired doneness (a meat thermometer should read 70°C for well-done).
While the burgers are cooking, toast the rye buns in a toaster or on a dry skillet until lightly crisped.
In a small bowl, combine the lingonberry jam and mayonnaise to create a lingonberry mayo. Stir until smooth and set aside.
To assemble each burger, spread a generous layer of lingonberry mayo on both halves of the rye bun. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half followed by the cooked beef patty, cucumber slices, and the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Scandinavian-style hamburgers with a side of potato wedges or a light salad.
