Umami Burger with Harissa Mayo, Grilled Onions, and Wild Mushrooms

Two cheeseburgers with melted cheese and mushrooms on a wooden board, accompanied by sliced tomatoes, lettuce, and a bowl of sauce. A bottle of red wine labeled Penridge Vineyards and a glass of wine are in the background.

The supple, lush tannins of our Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon pair beautifully with this indulgent burger, enhancing the dark and red fruit characters of this incredible wine.

Ingredients
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 3 teaspoons harissa
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped rehydrated dried chanterelles

Preparation

In a small mixing bowl, whisk mayonnaise and harissa. Set aside.

In another small mixing bowl, mix rehydrated chanterelles with tamari.

Season ground meat with salt and pepper, then stir chanterelle/tamari mix in with the beef. Form 4 equal rounds.

Grill burgers over high heat until medium rare. Top with cheese on the second side, for a nice melty cheeseburger.

Assemble your burgers by layering the patties with grilled onions, sautéed mushrooms, tomato, lettuce and harissa mayo.
