FFWD Week #47: Cafe Salle Pleyel Hamburger

This was a delicious, delicous hamburger, but I had trouble taking a good photo of it. I also made quite a mess eating this hamburger, but it was SO good! I must admit, this is the first time EVER that I have made hamburgers! I've eaten plenty of homemade burgers, but they have always been made by lovely and talented friends and family. I think this was a good start to my hamburger making career =) The Red onion marmalade was really good, and the sundried tomatoes in the burger worked very well, as did the parmasean. I skipped the capers and cornichons. This recipe is definitely one of my favourites that we've made so far! By the way... the photo above is an Arbutus tree, I love them!

  1. I like your photo! Looks quite summery. I'm not a huge capers fan, but put them in anyway and was pleasantly surprise how much I like these burgers.

  5. I agree with you, the red onion marmalade was really good and a good spread for bread. The burgers taste better with the sun dried tomatoes in them :)

  9. I wished I had skipped the capers. Trusting my gut the next time. Your photo turned out great: the burger is peeking out at you - drawing you in. :-)

  12. I wasn't sure about the cornichons when I read the recipe, but ended up being pleased with the result (though I skipped the sun dried tomatoes this time). I wish I'd thought to have corn on the cob as a side!

  13. I loved this, too, and that onion jam was the best...I have made that again and confess to sampling that way too much while I was cooking it! Shhhh...don't tell anyone. I think your photo looks great!
