This recipe for a hamburger with bun the luxe is easy, fast and really delicious. This is really nice when made on a bbq in summer days or skottelbraai.
There is one dish that my eldest son loves: A hamburger with bun. He loves it (of course) with french fries, but if we try to keep things a little bit healthier, we eat a salad or roasted potatoes as a side dish.
We try to keep the hamburger as healthy as possible, by taking a quality hamburger and combine it with lettuce, cucumber and tomato.
On vacation we've got a skottelbraai. A very popular sort of barbecue in Holland. But you can also use the skottelbraai as a big frying pan. Today a recipe with the skottelbraai: a hamburger with bun the luxe.
Tips
- By pre-roasting the hamburger bun, it will become less soft and soggy when adding the hamburger.
- Feta is a Greek cheese and only the Feta cheese from Greece which is made from sheep's milk (possibly supplemented with goat's milk) may bear this name. Feta cheese has matured for at least 60 days and is very full of flavor. The original feta is made from raw milk and therefore you better not eat this during your pregnancy. Always read the label carefully.
- If you can't get a real feta cheese, you can get white cheese cubes in the supermarket. Less intense in taste, but certainly good to use.
- By tearing the lettuce instead of cutting it, you won't get ugly cut surfaces.
It's a good taste!
