Preparation
- Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine red onion with butter, coriander and 1 cup water and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture is reduced to ½ cup, about 30 minutes.
- Step 2
Meanwhile, in a small food processor, pulse sun-dried tomatoes with capers, cornichons, tarragon and parsley until finely chopped.
- Step 3
In a medium bowl, lightly mix meat with sun-dried tomato mixture and season with pepper. Shape meat into 4 patties about ¾ inch thick.
- Step 4
Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Add burgers and cook for about 2 minutes on each side for rare or 3 minutes for medium rare. Transfer burgers to a platter and top with Parmesan. Lightly toast buns. Spread a thin layer of onion jam on bottom buns. Top with pickle slices and burgers. Cover with top buns and serve.

These burgers have wonderfully layered flavours. I only had roasted coriander on hand, but that added even more depth. The onion jam serves as a solid foundation, but the stars of the dish is are cornichons and capers in the mix. Not overpowering but maintain just enough zing. I topped with a bit of Boston lettuce, in addition to the pickles and onion jam, but nothing else. The various flavours complement one another perfectly. The parties will be a bit loose as they cook, so only turn the once.
An excellent burger recipe. These are not easily made on the grill since they're fragile, but caramelizing them in a skillet is wonderful, too. I was missing capers the last time and subbed with kalamata olives. Nice!
Geez.Poor Dorie Greenspan had the same story on the burger and its recipe in her 2010 "around my french table." The nice lady gets no credit. Still have not tried it-guess I will. Also, in today's NYT, is a recipe for Salisbury Steak-another "burger" improvisation. Certain degrees of sophistication if handled correctly.
what do you do with the liquid from Step 1?????
I didn't expect it, but I were completely underwhelmed by this recipe, despite using hi-quality ingredients. Won't try again.
The burger is delicious, but I do not understand the onion mixture. It ends up without flavour or panache, and boiling onions does nothing but make onion mush. Otherwise, the concept of the dish is great- I will just tweak the methods.
