this is salt. about one and a quarter teaspoons of salt. and now this is sort of the gooey part of it. i just get my hands in there and i m going to mix all that green stuff along with a little bit of minced up parsley and a little bit of minced up cilantro. now i said salt is the secret ingredient that is the secret ingredient to a great hamburger. the reason is. it makes it kind of sticky and it actually makes a moisture. so after i mix this in the next thing i do. that s perfect. that s kind of elastic. look at that. great. the next thing i do is i put this into the refrigerator for about an hour. let all those flavors come together and i form them into patties. they re going to look like these guys right over here. just like a traditional patty. to cook them i could put them on the grill or i ve got a sautee pan. a hot sautee pan with a little bit of olive oil. i m just going to put those into the sautee pan. and let them cook.
