The delicious Hamburger Toscana is a twist on a traditional American classic. With summer approaching, this simple meal can really satisfy any company with its casual yet delectable flavors. The staple of an American backyard barbeque has been revived and imbued with new Tuscan style.
The Hamburger Toscana consists of local Tuscan Chianina beef that is grilled to perfection. This lean, dark red meat is complimented by a traditional hard pecorino cheese that provides hints of nuttiness, which is slowly melted by the heat of the freshly grilled Chianina beef.
A slice of a sweet red Statina Certaldo onion, a variety found in the summer months in the Tuscan region, fresh iceberg lettuce and the crispy pan-baked bacon are also added to this succulent burger. These components complete the dish along with sweet homemade mayonnaise and ketchup. This recipe with a bottle of Santa Cristina Chianti DOCG Superiore would make for a perfect combination.
