Dad from Hive Food! I'm happy to be here again to share with you the wonderful dinner we had celebrating my mom's birthday. Not to miss the opportunity, I prepared her favorite dish: hamburgers. Although the usual thing would be to offer a birthday cake, she didn't want it. In fact, there were no plans to do anything special. However, at the last minute, my sister and I decided to get our act together, as we say here in Venezuela, and bought the ingredients needed for the hamburgers.

It's worth mentioning that these burgers are homemade. It's been a while since I've made burgers at home, but I hope they turn out well this time, as I want to highlight the flavor, especially the meat. Since it's a special meal for my mom, I decided to make the burgers at my sister's house. However, one thing I didn't like was that the house didn't have much lighting, so I hope the photos aren't confusing. The preparation is for 10 burgers, so I hope the meat is enough. Before I forget, the buns were made by a woman we know, so they're freshly baked. We were honestly impressed with these burger buns; they're very pretty, golden in color, and decorated with sesame seeds. It's not common to find buns like this around here, as they're not readily available, but this woman put a lot of effort into making them. So, let's start preparing them!

_{(Procedimiento:)||(Procedure:)}

• Paso nro 1

Para comenzar con la preparación de las hamburguesas, lo primero que hice fue condimentar la carne. Le añadí al gusto sal, pimienta, ajo, orégano y una cucharada de harina de trigo para que mantuviera su forma y no se rompiera al cocinarla. Dejé que reposara por un momento mientras calentaba bien el budare.El budare es una excelente opción si no tenemos plancha. Una vez que el budare estuvo bien caliente, le agregué un poco de aceite. Por otro lado, me puse a darle forma a la carne de hamburguesa con la ayuda de una bolsa, lo que me permitió aplanarla correctamente.Verifiqué si la carne era suficiente para diez hamburguesas, y la verdad es que sí, así que voy por buen camino.

• Paso nro 1

To begin preparing the burgers, the first thing I did was season the meat. I added salt, pepper, garlic, oregano, and a tablespoon of wheat flour to taste so it would hold its shape and not break during cooking. I let it rest for a moment while I heated the budare. The budare is an excellent option if you don't have a griddle. Once the budare was piping hot, I added a little oil. Meanwhile, I began shaping the hamburger patty with the help of a bag, which allowed me to flatten it properly. I checked if the patty was enough for ten burgers, and it was, so I'm on the right track.

Luego, comencé a preparar las verduras, es decir, la lechuga y el tomate. Corté el tomate en rodajas y le añadí un poquito de sal.Para preparar la lechuga, fui sacando hoja por hoja y las coloqué en un tazón con agua y un poco de vinagre para eliminar cualquier impureza. Después, retiré el agua y coloqué la lechuga en un colador para que se secara mejor.

• Paso nro 2

Next, I started preparing the vegetables, namely the lettuce and tomato. I sliced the tomato and added a little salt. To prepare the lettuce, I removed each leaf and placed them in a bowl with water and a little vinegar to remove any impurities. Afterward, I drained the water and placed the lettuce in a colander to dry it better.

• Paso nro 3

Después de un rato, la carne ya estaba lista, así que ahora voy a empezar a preparar las hamburguesas. Para ello, decidí colocarles la salsa. Opté por mezclar la mayonesa en un solo recipiente. Me di cuenta de que no compré mostaza, pero bueno, ¡el mundo no se acabará por eso!

• Paso nro 3

After a while, the meat was ready, so now I'm going to start preparing the burgers. To do so, I decided to add the sauce. I opted to mix the mayonnaise in a single container. I realized I didn't buy mustard, but hey, the world won't end because of that!

• Paso nro 4

Fui rellenando las hamburguesas en el siguiente orden: primero la salsa, luego la carne, después el tomate, la lechuga y, por último, un poco más de salsa. Así continué con las demás hamburguesas hasta finalizar. Algunas de ellas no soportaron tanto relleno. 🤭

• Paso nro 4

I filled the burgers in the following order: first the sauce, then the meat, then the tomato, the lettuce, and finally, a little more sauce. I continued this way with the rest of the burgers until they were finished. Some of them couldn't handle all the filling. 🤭

Por último, le dije a mi mamá: "Ve a comerte una hamburguesa que te preparé", y le serví sus respectivas hamburguesas junto con una copa, aunque no de vino, sino de refresco. Allí está ella, feliz, y nosotros también.Espero que les haya gustado esta receta de hamburguesas caseras. ¡Gracias por acompañarme en esta oportunidad!

Finally, I told my mom, "Go eat a burger I made for you," and I served them their burgers along with a glass, not wine, but soda. There she is, happy, and so are we. I hope you enjoyed this homemade burger recipe. Thanks for joining me this time!
