Mini Burgers With Fresh Rosemary, Thyme and Oregano
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/4 cup minced green onion, red onion or 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
Instructions
(You can soak the cut red onion in ice water for 10 minutes to remove the sharpness and it may also help with digestion for those who have trouble with raw onions.)
Mix all ingredients in a bowl, mix with a large fork, then form into mini burgers about 1 1/2 ounces each. Heat a skillet to medium high. Add oil and tilt and swirl to coat the pan. When oil is hot, slip the burgers into the pan. Brown each side for 2 minutes. Turn heat off and let rest 5 minutes to reabsorb juices.
