Ingredients
Units
Scale
- for fresh tomato relish --
- 6 small/medium tomatoes, about 3 cups chopped
- 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon celery salt
- pinch of red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- for the burgers --
- 2 slices white bread
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1 pound ground beef, I like a 85/15 blend
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 4 potato rolls, toasted
Instructions
- Heat grill to medium high heat.
- For the fresh tomato relish, place the tomatoes and red onions in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse 10 to 12 times or until the tomatoes and onions are finely chopped but still a little chunky. Place in a strainer and drain for 2 minutes.
- Place the chopped tomatoes and onions in a bowl and stir in the apple cider vinegar, honey, kosher salt, pepper, celery salt, red pepper flakes and parsley. Set aside.
- For the burgers, place the bread in a bowl and pour milk over it. After the bread has soaked up as much of the milk as possible, smash and squeeze out and pour off the excess.
- Combine the soaked bread and the remaining burger ingredients in a large bowl. Gently mix.
- Form the meat mixture into 4 burgers.
- Grill burgers about 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium rare or a little longer if you like your burgers more well done.
- Serve on toasted buns with a generous spoonful of the tomato relish.
Notes
Chopped tomatoes can release a lot of liquid. Before adding the other ingredients, put the pulsed tomatoes and onions in a strainer for a couple minutes.
Store the tomato relish in a covered container for up to 2 days.
