Tony's Recipe of the Month: Fall Burgers

Tony Abato, our VP of Sales here at Intech Services, and an amazing Italian chef, will be sharing one of his delicious recipes every month. Trust us, you don't want to miss out on what Tony's cooking! 

Ok, its over.  Summer that is.  April’s hope - nature’s respite.  Plans for the beach, time on the lake, have given way to raking leaves and stacking wood.  All those breezeless, flat-line hot, flip flop wearing backyard BBQs are now a distant glance in the rear view mirror of a defrosted drive to your daily grind.

Wait a minute, that’s just ridiculous. 

Yes, the summer season we all look so forward to all winter long is over, but let us not minimize the many splendid attributes of autumn.  Our air is crisp, clean . . . there’s a romance to it.  Just feeling it on your face, your fingers, brings memories of football games with “the old man,” Homecoming weekends, co-eds in sweaters.

So call up some pals and some family and tell them to come over for drinks around the fire and Fall Burgers on the grill.

Fall Burgers

Ingredients:

1 lb. ground beef, 85% to 90 % lean

1/3 cup peach preserves

1/4 cup parsley, washed and chopped

Bread crumbs                      

1 extra large egg, lightly whisked

4 tbsp ketchup

2 tsp. salt, kosher or sea

Pepper, freshly ground

American cheese

Preparation: 

Mix all ingredients except cheese together in a bowl. Shape the mixture into 6 equal-sized balls using your hands. Press the balls down to make flat burger shapes about ½ inch thick. Throw them on the grill like you would with normal burgers, add some buns and cheese, and you're done!
