Philadelphia Burger

1. 1

   Heat 2 tablespoons of the canola oil in a saute pan or griddle over medium-high heat until almost smoking.

   Remove the onions to a plate.

4. 4

   Divide the meat into 4 equal portions (about 6 ounces each).

5. 5

6. 6

   Season both sides of each burger with salt and pepper.

7. 7

   Cook the burgers, using the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil (see page 16) and topping each one with 2 slices of cheese and a basting cover during the last minute of cooking (see page 21).

8. 8

   Place the burgers on the bun bottoms and top with onions, roasted red peppers, hot peppers, and parsley, if using.

   Cover with the bun tops and serve immediately.
