Title: Sausage Smash Burgers
Categories: Pork, Vegetables, Herbs, Breads
Yield: 4 Servings
1 lb Italian pork sausage; mild
- or hot
2 tb Oil; +2 ts, more as needed
2 sm Yellow, orange, or red bell
- peppers; halved, stemmed,
- thin sliced
1/2 lg Onion; thin sliced from root
- to stem
2 cl Garlic; thin sliced
Salt & pepper
2 ts Red or white wine vinegar
1/2 c Mayonnaise
4 Brioche or burger buns;
- split, lightly toasted
2 tb Fresh oregano leaves
Form the sausage into 4 roughly shaped spheres and set aside.
In a large skillet, preferably cast-iron, heat 2 tb of oil over
medium-high. Add the peppers, onion, and garlic, season with salt
and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 6 to
8 minutes. (Cook in batches, if the pan seems crowded.) Transfer to
a medium bowl, add the vinegar, toss and season with salt and
pepper, to taste.
Add the remaining 2 ts oil to the same skillet and heat on high.
Once very hot, add 2 sausage portions to the pan, then smash them
down with a spatula or metal press into 1/2" thick patties. Cook,
undisturbed, until deeply browned and caramelized on the bottom,
about 2 minutes, then flip over and cook until just cooked through,
1 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining
sausage, adding more oil if necessary.
While the burgers are cooking, spread the mayonnaise on the inside
of each piece of brioche, and, if using, sprinkle the oregano over.
Top bottom buns with sausage patties, sauteed peppers and onions,
then top buns, and serve.
