1 cup parsley, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

¼ cup Olive oil

1 tbsp oregano

1 tbsp white vinegar

1 tsp red pepper flakes

1 tbsp cilantro finely chopped

1 tsp cumin



Chimichurri burger patty:

1 ½ cups Chimichurri sauce







Chimichurri Patty



Hand mix beef, ham and Chimichurry seasoning. Divide meat into 6 6 oz. patties, and shape into uniform patties, no more than ¾ inch thick. Make a depression in the center with your thumb so the burger won't bulge. Preheat a grill or cast-iron grill pan to high. Season with salt and pepper and grill until golden brown and slightly charred, turning once. Add cheese for the last minute of cooking.



Top burger with Gruyere cheese, arugula, and tomato jam.

1 cup white sugar

½ lemon







Roast the tomatoes in oven at 425 degrees for 30 minutes until skin becomes dark. Peel the skin and transfer to a pot add sugar and lemon and cook on low for 40 minutes. Remove lemon cool and blend until smooth.
