Certified Sustainable Logo on Wine Bottle

DECODING THE RING

Have you spotted some California wines lately with a new blue-and-white logo on the label? How observant of you. Beginning with the 2017 vintage, a wine may bear the California Certified Sustainable Winegrowing (CERTIFIED SUSTAINABLE) logo (it’s optional) if it was made in a CERTIFIED SUSTINABLE winery from California grapes and 85% or more of the grapes came from certified-sustainable vineyards. You can expect to see more bottles with this logo as wineries release their 2017 and 2018 red wines. Coming soon: a website with a searchable database of certified-sustainable California wines.

The Pour

Which Wine?

With its firm tannic structure and woodsy blackberry perfume, California Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine to swirl, sip, and savor. Oak aging adds a whisper of char and helps make this variety so pleasing with grilled foods. A good merchant or well-stocked supermarket should have affordable weeknight Cabernets along with age-worthy Cabs for collectors and special occasions. And, of course, your perfect homemade burger is a special occasion!

The Recipe

鳄梨烟味辣椒蛋黄酱草饲牛肉汉堡

Buttery avocados make any sandwich better and they put this burger over the top. Grass-fed beef can be lean, but the sliced avocado and spicy chipotle mayonnaise ensure that this burger is a luscious, moist, flavor-packed experience.

Wine suggestion: 适宜搭配加州赤霞珠葡萄酒或西拉红葡萄酒

Burger Avocado

Ingredients

汉堡:

  • 1 1⁄2 磅(750 克)草饲牛肉馅
  • 1 1⁄2 茶匙粗盐或海盐
  • 3⁄4 茶匙大蒜粉
  • 现磨黑胡椒粉

烟味辣椒蛋黄酱:

  • 1⁄4 杯加 2 汤匙(90 毫升)蛋黄酱,自制或市售
  • 1 汤匙特级初榨橄榄油(如使用市售蛋黄酱)
  • 1 小颗独头蒜,用锉刀磨碎或做成蒜蓉
  • 1 1⁄2 茶匙阿斗波烟味辣椒粉或依个人口味增加
  • 1 汤匙特级初榨橄榄油
  • 4 个汉堡面包,一分为二
  • 1 个熟透但硬实的小鳄梨
  • 1⁄2 个青柠
  • 约 1⁄2 杯(20 克)稀疏的新鲜香菜叶
  • 4 片大而软的生菜叶

做法

制作汉堡:将牛肉放入碗中,加入盐、大蒜粉和少许黑胡椒粉。用手快速混合;尽量不要过分搅拌。平均分成四份,每份约 6 盎司(185 克),搓成团状。将每个肉团按压成约 3/4 英寸(2 厘米)厚的圆形肉饼。将肉饼的中心按薄。肉饼在煎制时会回缩,这一步骤可确保肉饼在煎制后薄厚均匀。将肉饼放在托盘上,放入冰箱。

制作蛋黄酱:将蛋黄酱放入一个小碗中。如果是市售蛋黄酱,则一边加入橄榄油一边搅拌增加风味。一边加入大蒜和辣椒粉一边搅拌。试尝后依个人喜好增添更多辣椒粉。盖上盖子,冷藏待用。

预热烤炉。用中火将大铸铁煎锅加热。加入橄榄油,旋转煎锅使橄榄油覆盖锅底。油热后,放入肉饼煎至金黄色,熟度依个人喜好而定,用铲子翻面两三次,控制火候,防止表面过于焦脆。煎制共约 10 分钟为五分熟。

将肉饼放在一个大盘上静置约 3 分钟。同时烤制汉堡面包,切面向上,放在烤架下面。将鳄梨切成两半,去核去皮,切成薄片。

将烟味辣椒蛋黄酱涂抹在烤好的两片面包上。在每个面包的下半部分上放一个肉饼。将鳄梨片均匀地铺在肉饼上。在鳄梨上撒少许盐和青柠汁。在上面撒一撮香菜叶和一片生菜叶,最后盖上另一半面包。用锯齿刀切成两半即可食用
