Burger Wellington in Crispy Rice Paper

Ingredients

• 150 g ground beef (shaped into a thick patty)
• 2 rice paper sheets (for wrapping)
• 1 fetta cheddar cheese
• 2 tbsp caramelized onions
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil (for frying)
• salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps

1. 1

   Season the ground beef patty with salt and pepper on both sides.

2. 2

   Sear the burger in a hot pan until cooked to your desired doneness, then place a slice of cheddar cheese on top and let it melt slightly.

3. 3

   Soak the rice paper sheets in warm water until they become pliable.

4. 4

   Place the cooked burger in the center of the rice paper and top with the caramelized onions.

5. 5

   Fold the edges of the rice paper over the burger to seal it completely, creating a tight package (use a second sheet if needed for reinforcement).

6. 6

   Heat the oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Fry the rice paper-wrapped burger on both sides until the exterior is golden brown and very crispy.

7. 7

   Remove from the pan, drain off any excess oil, and serve immediately while hot.

Notes

This recipe is a modern reinterpretation that replaces bread or puff pastry crust with rice paper for a unique texture. Make sure the rice paper is well sealed to prevent oil from penetrating during frying.
