Classic Burger

Klassikaline burger

This classic burger may look familiar, but there's a clever twist tucked inside: salted peanuts in the cabbage salad and just the right amount of smoked paprika in the sauce. It's the kind of meal that satisfies like only a proper burger can.
Whether you’re building this beauty in your indoor kitchen, sizzling it over a fire in the forest, or grilling outdoors on a summer evening — the result is always equally rewarding. Choose your bun depending on your mood: the classic white, pillowy soft version is hard to beat, but a wholemeal or even rye bun will bring a heartier note if you’re leaning a healthier way.
So fire up the pan (or the flames), roll up your sleeves, and let’s build a burger worth remembering.

  • 2 burger buns
  • 2 slices of Cheddar cheese
  • 2 lettuce leaves
  • 2 slices of yellow bell pepper
  • 6 slices of pickled cucumber
    • Burger:
  • 200 g minced beef
  • 1/2 onion
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 2 tbsp whole grain spelt flour
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
    • Salad:
  • 100 g red cabbage
  • 50 g salted peanuts
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp plain yoghurt
    • Sauce:
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp sour cream
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika seasoning
  • Salt and pepper
  • A little lemon juice
Preparation
  1. 1
    Start with the burgers. In a bowl, mix the minced beef with finely chopped onion, crushed garlic, flour, egg, olive oil, and seasoning. Knead until smooth, then shape into two large burgers. Fry the burgers in a pan over medium heat, about 3 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through.
  2. 2
    Now prepare the cabbage salad. Finely slice the red cabbage, then combine in a bowl with salted peanuts, mayonnaise, and yoghurt. Mix well and set aside.
  3. 3
    Next up, make the sauce in a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, ketchup, sour cream, smoked paprika, crushed garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  4. 4
    All that is left is to assemble the burgers. Warm the burger buns in a dry pan or on a grill. Place a slice of Cheddar on each bottom half and allow it to melt slightly while warming (cover the pan with a lid). Top with a lettuce leaf, pickled cucumber, a slice of bell pepper, and a generous spoonful of the cabbage salad. Add a few tablespoons of smoky sauce, then place the patty on top. Finish with the top half of the bun.
  5. 5
    Repeat with the second burger, and serve while warm. Napkins highly recommended. ;)
