Instructions

1

Prepare the vegetables: slice the tomato and onion thinly, wash and dry the lettuce. Cut the buns in half.

Tip: You can place the onion in cold water for a few minutes after cutting to reduce its pungency.
2

Lay the salami slices in a cold pan, then turn on the heat. Fry them slowly until crisp, until their fat renders out, then set aside on kitchen paper.

Tip: Starting in a cold pan allows more fat to render out, making it crispier. (Rendering).
3

Season the patties with salt and pepper immediately before cooking. Fry them in the hot pan (even in the residual salami fat) for 3-4 minutes per side.

Tip: The salami fat adds extra flavour to the meat, use it boldly!
4

When you have flipped the meat, place the cheese on top and cover the pan for 1 minute to melt the cheese.

Tip: Pour a tablespoon of water into the pan under the lid – the resulting hot steam melts the cheese in moments.
5

Toast the cut sides of the buns until golden brown.

Tip: Toasting strengthens the structure of the bun so it can hold the many toppings.
6

Assemble the burger: bun bottom, mustard, lettuce, cheesy meat, crispy salami, tomato, onion, mayonnaise, bun top.

Tip: Place the salami on top of the cheese so the cheese acts as 'glue' to hold it there.

Recipe FAQ

Won't it be too greasy?
We fry the salami separately until crisp, so most of its fat renders out, leaving only the crispy flavour.
What kind of salami should I choose?
One that is thinly sliced and has a distinctive flavour (e.g., paprika salami or chorizo).
