2. Hamburger is an all-time favorite American food. This new gourmet food
recipe of hamburger is a fresh and exciting experience. Try this creative and
innovative herbed parmesan hamburger recipe that is titillating to the modern
taste buds for a new dining experience. The addition of Parmesan cheese and
aromatic herbs turned the ordinary burger patties into a gourmet dish
reminiscent of Provence and the Mediterranean. This herbed burger dish is more
enjoyed with a fruity chardonnay or an Australian Shiraz. Ice-cold beer or the
ever-reliable Sauvignon Blanc is best for a refreshing and relaxing time. However,
if you want something bolder to complement the spices, go for an American
Zinfandel or a dark and brooding Merlot.
This recipe is a brilliant idea if you have an herb garden and want to try all
your aromatic greens in one dish. It is also a good way if you want to showcase
your fresh herbs to your friends. All of those wonderful aromas of herbs will
mingle together as you cook the patties on the grill and as it wafts through the
whole neighborhood it will cause a stir. The patties in this recipe can also be made
into meatballs or a meat loaf, whichever you prefer, instead of burgers. The herbs
are listed as chopped or diced. If chopped, naturally, it will leave you with bigger
pieces of the herbs. They will burst onto the palate when you bite into them.
Since some people prefer their spices finely diced, the option is yours.
