Today we celebrate Burger Day, the perfect excuse to eat one, at your favorite restaurant or with healthy recipes.
Are you a full-time “burger junkie”? When you walk past a fast food restaurant, does your mouth water? So Burger Day is the perfect excuse to enjoy a juicy hamburgereither from a recognized chain, from the neighborhood cart or made by yourself.
Burger Day was created by a small group of Londoners who decided that on this day you should buy a burger from London’s “burger people”. Why not celebrate this day in Bogotá too?
Today, we say yes to a delicious hamburger, but if you want to join us but take care of your figure, we have some practical recommendations to prepare delicious and healthy hamburgers.
“The richest thing about the hamburger is the fat of the meatbut if you want to save those calories, you can prepare it yourself,” says Diego A. Céspedes, founder of Healthy Food at Home.
“Whether it is meat, chicken or fish, buy this ingredient without grinding and in a trusted place, where you can choose it. Beef It can be lean or fat, but if you choose the latter, remove the fat before grinding.”
«If you decide to chicken, preferably organic skinless breast; chop the breast into cubes and then put it in the grinder, but do not let the blades give more than two strokes, so that it is semi-ground.”
“If you are going to prepare a fish burger, I recommend the Salmon. Immerse it in boiling water, with salt and pepper, for 2 minutes to loosen the skin. Then chop it up with a spatula.”
“Don’t put an egg on your burger; mix the meat, chicken or salmon with a chopped (not in the grinder, but with a knife) with onion, garlic, tomato and paprika, add salt to taste and season with your favorite spices. Sauté this mixture with a drop of olive oil.”
«Instead of bread For a hamburger, you can try with French or wholemeal bread, 3, 5 or 7 grains. In addition to lettuce, tomato and onion, you can try other vegetables, and even fruit. Also, instead of using sauces packed, prepare your own, tomato or spinach, for example,” he concludes.
But if you have many cravings and little time, do not feel bad about eating a hamburger today, be healthy, street or restaurant. “I love ordering hamburgers in restaurants and looking at the new varieties that are nintendo”, confesses Céspedes.
