1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tsp. sweet pepper sauce (Blue Dragon)
1 tsp. Sriracha
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Ingredients

2 large buttered hamburger buns
Arugula
Sliced tomatoes

Preparation

Start with the pickled onions. In a small saucepan, except for the onion, place all ingredients, stir and bring to the boil, then remove from heat.
In a Mason jar, compact the red onion and pour the liquid over the top. Close the jar, mix well and let stand for 20 minutes! It’s that simple!
Place patties ingredients in a large mixing bowl, mix with your hands and shape into 2 large, flat patties.
Preheat BBQ to high, then reduce to medium. Oil the grates.
Place patties on heat and cook for 2 minutes. Rotate 45 degrees and continue cooking for 2 minutes. Turn meatballs over and repeat: cook for 2 minutes, rotate 45 degrees and cook for 2 minutes, or until meat is cooked. Toast hamburger buns.
On the bottom bun, spread a little sauce, place a small handful of arugula and place the patty on top. Add a slice of tomato, followed by a ton of pickled onions. Spread some sauce on the top bun, place on top and prick with a long pick!

MERF CABERNET-SAUVIGNON COLUMBIA VALLEY

Washington, United States

This liquid is balanced, supple and accessible. With flavors of blackberry, caramel and subtle spice notes, this wine has silky tannins and a lingering finish. See the product

LAGER AMBRÉE, 5%

Bercée Microbrasserie

A low-fermentation red beer, this Amber Lager offers notes of roasted grain, toasted toast, and a finish of berries and light caramel. Its roasted aromas are found in both meatballs and cheese, as well as toasted bread. The light caramelized sweetness of the beer joins the sweetness of the mayonnaise. Not very bitter and very thirst-quenching, it's a great combination for quenching your thirst between bites. See the product
