Cuban Fritas (Cuban Hamburgers)
Posted by Marlen (My Page) on Fri, Aug 15, 03 at 0:33
This is the Cuban version of the good ole’ American hamburger. It is made into patties and served on plain hamburger buns. A deli close to my house makes them into rectangles and serves them on Cuban bread and they are superb!
Traditional Cuban fritas are served with a bit of ketchup, a sprinkle of chopped onions and a pile of shoe string potatoes right out of the can – on top of the meat, inside the bun!
The traditional version also has no lettuce or cheese, but DH sneaks it in and calls it the Cuban-American version! LOLOL
If the patties are not too firm after I form them, I return them to the refrigerator to firm up before cooking.
This is my version.
1/2 lb. lean ground beef
1/2 lb/ ground pork
2 T ketchup
1/ 2 c fresh bread crumbs
1 egg beaten
1 clove garlic, minced
1 /2 c finely minced yellow onion
1/4 tsp cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
Mix all ingredients well and form into patties. Fry in olive oil or grill.
