1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
4 thin slices cooked ham (about 3 oz.)
4 slices fontina or provolone cheese (about 3 oz.)
4 rolls or buns, split and toasted
2 whole dill pickles, sliced horizontally into 8 slices
4 slices red onion
4 slices tomato
1 recipe Mojo Sauce (see recipe below)
Recipe
1. In a bowl combine beef, garlic powder, cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon each
salt and ground black pepper. Shape into four 3/4-inch-thick patties.
For a charcoal grill, place patties on rack of uncovered grill directly
over medium coals for 14 to 18 minutes or until meat is done (160 degree
F), turning once halfway through grilling. Top each with a slice of ham
and cheese. Cover; grill 30 seconds more or just until cheese begins to
melt. Serve on rolls with pickle, onion, and tomato. Drizzle with some
of the Mojo Sauce sauce; pass remaining. Makes 4 servings.
Mojo Sauce: In a skillet cook 6 cloves garlic, minced, in 2 tablespoons
olive oil over medium heat until just starting to brown. Remove from
heat. Carefully add 1/3 cup orange juice, 1/3 cup lemon juice, 1
teaspoon ground cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and ground black
pepper. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, about 5
minutes or until slightly reduced. Remove from heat; cool. Whisk before
serving.
Broiler Method: Place burgers on broiler pan and broil 3 to 4 inches
from heat for 12 to 14 minutes or until meat is done (160 degreeF),
turning once halfway through broiling. Add a slice of ham and cheese to
the top of each patty. Broil about 30 seconds more or until cheese
begins to melt. (Broil buns or rolls for 45 to 60 seconds to toast.)
*Note: To toast buns, place them on the grill rack for 1 to 2 minutes
while your burgers finish grilling.
