| Many years ago there
was a health food restaurant on Hollywood's famed Sunset Strip
named The Aware Inn. It was the first to make hamburgers, called
"Swingers," stuffed with a mix of onions, tomatoes,
and green peppers — almost a salsa except it was sandwiched
between the meat. They tasted so good, we have been preparing
hamburgers this way ever since. |

1 garlic clove,
minced
1/4 cup yellow onion, peeled and finely diced
1/4 cup tomato, finely diced
1/4 cup green pepper, finely diced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pound lean ground beef
1 egg
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large yellow onions, peeled and thinly sliced |
|
In a medium bowl, combine
the garlic, diced onion, tomato, green bell pepper, and oregano.
Add the salt and pepper, and mix well. Cover with plastic wrap
and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, salt, and pepper.
Shape into eight 4-inch round, flat patties. Place a spoonful
of the vegetable filling in the center of one patty, top with
a second patty, press down firmly, and shape into a round, carefully
sealing the sides by pinching together. Repeat with the remaining
patties.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat
and sauté the sliced onions until lightly brown. Transfer
to a bowl and keep warm. Transfer to a bowl and keep warm. Brown
the hamburgers for about 5 minutes on each side, or until cooked
to medium; return the onions to the pan and heat. Serve immediately.
Makes 4 servings.
