LOWCARB SMASHBURGER
LOWCARB SMASHBURGER
.
This is how to make the viral smashed burger but lowcarb and Mediterranean style!
.
Here is how I made it:
.
1.Start with 1lb of ground beef and 1lb of ground lamb. Lamb adds a ton of flavor, so I highly recommend using a mix here, but you can use regular ground beef if you prefer. Add it to a large mixing bowl.
.
2.To add even more flavor, lets process together 1/2 yellow onion, 1 shallot, 3-4 cloves garlic, and a handful of fresh parsley. Process it well in a small food processor until it becomes almost like a pulp.
.
3.Add the pulp to the mixing bowl, add 3-4 pinches of salt, ground pepper, 1 tbsp dried mint, 1/2 tbsp oregano, and 1 tsp cayenne pepper.
.
4.Mix this REALLY well, and ideally, you let it marinate for 4-8 hours. But if you want to make them right away, you can do that too.
.
5.Form meat mixture into a small ball, put it on your favorite low carb tortilla, put a parchment paper on top and apply some weight on top. You want to have a thin layer of the meat covering the surface of the tortilla. I used my hands here to just make sure its all even. You can use a rolling pin or a bottle :)
.
6.Add 1 tbsp oil or spray a pan with some cooking spray. Put the tortilla with the meat side down on medium-high heat for a couple minutes, pressing it down with a spatula. Make sure you keep the weight on it. Flip, tilt just a little bit to get rid of any excess moisture, then cook for a minute on the tortilla side down.
.
7.Remove, then add your favorite toppings. I topped it with a garlicky herby sauce, some simple pickled red onions, cucumbers, tomato, and feta.
.
8.For the garlicky herby sauce, I mixed together 2 tbsp thick plain greek yogurt, 1/2 tbsp mayo, 1 minced garlic, a pinch of salt and pepper, and 1/2 tsp oregano.
.
9.For the onions I finely shredded a red onion, added 4-5 tbsp red wine vinegar, a couple pinches of salt, and 2 tbsp sumac. Mix it well, then let it sit for about 30-60 mins, mixing every few minutes.
.
ENJOY!
