2 tbsp chopped shallots
1/2 cup dry red wine
1/4 cup fresh or canned chicken broth

Place the meat in a mixing bowl. Heat the oil in a small cast-iron
skillet, add the onion and cook, stirring, until wilted. Add the
garlic and cook briefly, stirring. Do not let the garlic burn. Remove

Add the cooled onion mixture, chili powder, cumin, ground pepper, red
pepper flakes, Worcestershire sauce, and salt to the meat and blend
well. Divide the mixture into 4 patties of equal size.
Heat a heavy cast-iron skillet large enough to hold all the patties
in one layer. Do not add fat of any kind. When the skillet is quite
hot and smoking, add the patties. Cook until well browned on one
side, then turn and cook 3 minutes more on the second side for medium

Heat the butter in a small skillet. Add the shallots and cook,
stirring for 1 minute. Add the wine and broth and let cook until
reduced about 1/4 cup. Check for seasoning and sprinkle with
parsley. Serve immediately. Note: If a heavy black cast-iron pan is
not available, use a heavy bottomed fry pan. Serves 4 Typed in

The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of `recipes` back into history, certainly as far back as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these ancient recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
Continuing our culinary historical journey, there were two interesting recipe books dating from the 1300s - one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these books are not about the indian curry that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of food served to the rich and powerful of those days. When we get to the 20th century, cookery publications are increasing in popularity due to better eduction, more spare time and being a little richer. |
We hope you enjoy this Peppery Hamburgers W_Red Wine Sauce recipe.
