How To Make papa’s favorite hamburger

1Break up the meat with a fork and scatter the garlic, onion and dry seasonings over it, then mix them into the meat with a fork or your fingers. Add the relish, capers, everything else including wine and let the meat sit, quietly marinating, for minimum ten minutes if possible. Now make four fat, juicy patties with your hands. The patties should be an inch thick, and soft in texture but not runny. Use the hottest area of the Flat-top, hot but not smoking. Sear the patties and fry the burgers about 3 minutes. Flip the burgers over, place a large Tbl spoon of India Relish on the top, add cheese if requested and cook another three minutes. Both sides of the burgers should be crispy brown and the middle pink and juicy. Add lettuce and tomato and a fried onion ring.
