'21' CLUB HAMBURGER



'21' Club Hamburger image

When the "21" Club reopened in the spring of 1987, the new menu - not to mention the new décor - was the talk of both the food world and the society that considered the place home. The principal question in food circles about the menu had nothing to do with such elegant fare as breast of guinea hen or lobster. No, it was the direction of the restaurant's "new" hamburger that stirred the most curiosity. Craig Claiborne and Pierre Franey went to investigate, and the result was this marvelous, butter-rich recipe for hamburger, one that should take its place in your repertory.

Categories     lunch, burgers, main course

Time 1h20m

Yield One hamburger

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 tablespoons butter at room temperature
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
12 ounces freshly ground choice chuck (preferably with a 22 percent fat content)
Salt to taste, if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 slices Italian peasant bread, each slice about 1/2 inch in thickness and 5 inches in diameter
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 to 4 thin slices red, ripe tomatoes
2 thin slices red onion
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Steps:

  • Combine the butter, chopped thyme, one tablespoon chopped fresh basil and chopped fresh parsley. Blend well. Place the mixture on a rectangle of waxed paper or aluminum foil and roll it into a sausage shape about one inch in diameter. Place in the freezer for an hour or longer, until it is frozen. This butter may be used a portion at a time and refrozen.
  • Preheat a gas or charcoal broiler to high.
  • Shape the meat into a round ball without kneading. With the finger, make a partial indentation through the center of the ball. Shove one frozen tablespoon of butter into the center of the ball and press to close the opening. Flatten the meat into a patty shape about three-quarters of an inch thick. Sprinkle on both sides with salt and pepper. Place the meat on the grill and cook about four minutes until it is well seared on one side; turn the meat and cook about four minutes longer or to the desired degree of doneness.
  • Brush the bread slices on one side with one tablespoon of olive oil. Place the slices oiled side down on the grill and cook briefly until lightly toasted. Turn and cook briefly on the second side.
  • Meanwhile, as the meat cooks, place the tomato and onion slices in a small bowl and sprinkle with the remaining two tablespoons of oil, the lemon juice, salt, pepper and remaining tablespoon of chopped fresh basil. Toss briefly.
  • Place one slice of the warm grilled bread on a dinner plate, place the hamburger in the center and cover with the second slice of bread. Serve the tomato and onion slices on the side to be added to the hamburger as desired. Serve tomato ketchup only on request. The hamburger is also served with freshly cooked gaufrette potatoes on the side.

Categories     Appetizer     Sauté     Mayonnaise     Crab     Bell Pepper     Jalapeño     Gourmet     Sugar Conscious     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Makes 8 first-course servings or 4 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch dice
6 slices firm white sandwich bread, crusts discarded
1 pound jumbo lump crab meat, picked over
1/4 cup fresh coriander leaves, washed well, spun dry, and chopped
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning*
1 jalapeño chili, or to taste, seeded and chopped fine (wear rubber gloves)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
freshly ground black pepper to taste
Accompaniments:
chili mayonnaise or mayonnaise flavored with mustard or horseradish
*available at seafood and specialty foods shops and some supermarkets

Steps:

  • In a skillet heat 1 tablespoon oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté bell peppers until softened. Cool peppers. In a food processor grind bread into fine crumbs.
  • In a bowl stir together bell peppers, crab, coriander, mayonnaise, Old Bay seasoning, jalapeño, garlic, 2 tablespoons bread crumbs, black pepper, and salt to taste until combined well and chill 20 minutes.
  • With a 2-ounce ice-cream scoop or 1/4-cup measure, scoop crab mixture into 8 portions and pat each into 3/4-inch-thick disk. Spread remaining bread crumbs on a sheet of wax paper and gently press each crab cake into them, turning it, to coat evenly. To help prevent crumbling during cooking chill crab cakes, covered loosely, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • In a 12-inch skillet heat 1 tablespoon oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté half of crab cakes until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn crab cakes carefully and brown other sides. Transfer sautéed crab cakes carefully to a baking sheet. Add remaining tablespoon oil to skillet and sauté remaining crab cakes in same manner. On baking sheet bake all crab cakes 6 minutes, or until heated through.
  • Serve crab cakes with mayonnaise.

Tips:

  • Use russet potatoes. Russet potatoes are the best type of potato for hash browns because they have a high starch content, which helps them to brown and crisp up nicely.
  • Shred the potatoes finely. The finer you shred the potatoes, the crispier your hash browns will be.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking hash browns, it's important to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
  • Cook the hash browns over medium heat. Cooking the hash browns over medium heat will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Flip the hash browns frequently. Flipping the hash browns frequently will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Season the hash browns to taste. Once the hash browns are cooked, season them to taste with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings.
  • Serve the hash browns immediately. Hash browns are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that they are crispy and hot.

Conclusion:

Hash browns are a delicious and versatile breakfast dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to taste. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect hash browns every time.
