Salt Crusted Burgers With Mashed Peas Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

• 1lb ground beef
• 8oz frozen peas
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/2 sweet onion, small chop
• olive oil
• balsamic vinegar
• Lemon juice to taste
• salt
• pepper
• red chile flakes, optional

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. If you want the caramelize the onions, it’s going to take a bit. You heat the 2-3 tablespoons olive oil on medium heat. Add the onions, and cover, stirring every 5 minutes or so. It’ll take a good 25-30 minutes to get them to start browning and caramelizing. A watched pot never boils and all that. Right before you pull them off, toss in a tablespoon or two of balsamic and stir. Delicious.
2. Remove the onions from the pan and add a fine layer of salt all over it. Turn the heat up to high. Form the beef into patties while it heats. Sprinkle both sides with fresh cracked pepper. Add the patties to the salted pan, and let them sizzle for 4-5 minutes before flipping. The salt is going to create a juicy, seared exterior full of all kinds of flavor. After flip, let them cook another 4-5 minutes depending on how rare you like your beef.
3. After the final flip, add the frozen peas to a pot on medium heat. Stir occasionally while they heat. Once all of the frozenness goes away, add the butter. Stir again while the butter melts, coating every pea. With a fork, potato masher, immersion blender, or small food processor, mash the buttery peas with a splash of lemon juice to taste. It really brightens up the flavor.
4. Serve the burgers on the peas topped with onions.
