This style of preparing hamburgers is popular in Greece. The seasoned beef patties stay moist and delicious thanks to the liquid exuded when grating the tomato and onion—be sure not to drain any of it away. Serve with roasted potatoes and a green salad.
Ingredients
4 ounces stale whole-wheat country bread
2 pounds 90%-lean ground beef
⅔ cup grated tomato
⅓ cup grated red onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground pepper
Directions
Place bread in a large bowl. Cover with water and let soak for 10 minutes. Drain the bread and squeeze out excess liquid; return to the bowl.
Position rack in upper third of oven and preheat broiler. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil.
Add ground beef, tomato, onion and garlic to the bread. Stir in eggs, oil, oregano, vinegar, salt and pepper. Knead until the mixture has a fluffy consistency. Shape the mixture into 12 patties and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Broil the patties, flipping once and rotating the pan from front to back, until browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 165°F, 12 to 15 minutes total.
