Herby Burgers

I have a container garden on my deck and have oodles and oodles of fresh herbs!  I decided to jazz up some hamburgers with them tonight.  This is a great low fat burger with lots of flavor. It is also super easy and fast to make.  And if you are a lover of goat cheese- I suggest topping your burger with some.  I really think the herbs would meld well with it.   I wanted to tonight, but didn't have any on hand.  I will definitely have some next time though!


Ingredients
93% lean hamburger - 1 pound
1/3 cup fresh chopped basil
1/3 cup fresh chopped oregano
1/4 cup fresh chopped chives
1/4 cup fresh chopped Italian flat leaf parsley
3 T grated Parmesan cheese
3 T dry red wine
Salt and pepper to taste
cheese of your choice for topping 

Mix all ingredients together in bowl with exception of the last.  Form into four patties.  For even cooking, make a small well in the center of the burger with thumbs so that outer part of burger is thicker than the inner.  Cook on grill to desired doneness.  Top with your favorite variety of cheese.  

points= plain hamburger is 5pts

  1. Even though I am a follower, I'm not getting emails when you post. I think you might have to check that option. I just thought you hadn't posted in awhile. Have you heard that from others, or is it on my end? I'm not sure why your comments don't post to mine, but others seem to be able to. Facebook works, though. You should network and syndicate you blog on facebook so it automatically posts.
