Hurry, Curry Hamburger

1. 1

   In a saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add garlic and ginger and be sure to stir so that they don't burn. Cook for 5 minutes or until the garlic takes on a nice shade of golden-brown. Take off heat.

2. 2

   Place your hamburger meat in the mixing bowl and add the pepper, cumin, herbs, ginger, and garlic. Mix all the ingredients together with your hands. If it seems as if the burger will not hold a patty, you can also add one egg to the mixture.

3. 3

   Heat second tablespoon of oil in the pan and when hot, add your patties (make sure the pan is big enough that they aren't crowded). Cook 5-10 minutes on each side.

4. 4

   While the burgers get a nice sear, mix your ketchup and curry together in a separate bowl.

5. 5

   Once your patties have cooked on both sides, take them off the pan to rest. Add your onions to the pan, in the meat juices, and allow them to cook and caramelize for approximately 5 minutes.

6. 6

   To plate, place patties in buns, cabbage, or pita bread (choose your own ending, if you will!). Layer the accoutrements in the following order: tomato, ketchup, creme fraiche, and onions. Dig in and let the curried juices flow!
