Hamburguesas a la Cerveza con Mermelada de Cebolla a la Cerveza

Ingredientes

• 1 large onion (or 2 small onions, you can also use chopped frozen onion)
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 240 ml Treason West Coast IPA (1 cup)
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 500 g beef mince (preferably 10%+fat)
• 60 ml Treason West Coast IPA
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 4 burger buns
• 4 slices of strong cheese (I used stilton but any other strong cheese should also work well)

Preparación

1. 1

   --- Make the beer onion jam ---

2. 2

   Roughly chop the onion.

3. 3

   Heat the olive oil (2 tsp) in a small saucepan and once hot add the onions. Cook the onions for 10 minutes on a low heat, stirring them regularly to ensure they don't burn.

4. 4

   Add the Treason (240ml), apple cider vinegar (1 tsp) and sugar (2 tbsp) and mix. Simmer for about 20 minutes until the beer has reduced to a jammy consistency.

5. 5

   --- While the jam is simmering make the burgers ---

6. 6

   I cooked my burgers in the oven but you can also cook them under the grill, in a frying pan or on a BBQ.

7. 7

   Pre-heat your oven to 220ºC/200ºC fan.

8. 8

   Put the beef mince into a large bowl. Add the other burger ingredients (60ml Treason West Coast IPA, 1 tsp cayenne pepper, 1 tsp paprika and ¼ tsp salt). Using your hands, mix the ingredients together until fully combined.

9. 9

   Divide the mixture into 4 and shape into burgers using your hands (it's a good idea to push down the middle. Burgers tend to puff up a bit as they cook so this will ensure they look more even when they're ready).

10. 10

    Place on a wire rack over a baking tray and cook for 12-15 minutes until cooked through.

11. 11

    Serve the burgers in a bun topped with cheese and a spoonful of the beer onion jam.
