We proudly present the best cheeseburger in the world. No doubt.
 
This is a luxurious and decadent burger, if there ever was one. On New Scandinavian Cooking with Andreas Viestad grouse was used, but you can use just about any game.

½ pound (250g) ground or finely chopped game, venison, grouse, moose and partridge
½ pound (250g) ground pork
salt and pepper
2 juniper berries, crushed
1 teaspoon finely chopped sage
2-3 oz foie gras, cut into 2 thick slices
1 tablespoon duck fat or butter, optional
3-4 ounces (ca200g) Jarlsberg, cut into 2 thick slices
2 slices good country bread

This is how you do it

Mix ground game and pork. Season with salt, pepper, juniper and sage.

If the foie gras is uncooked, sauté it in a very hot non stick skillet for 1-2 minutes. Reserve the fat in the pan.

Divide the meat into four equal size pieces. Mold each of them into thin burger shapes. Place the foie gras slices on top of two of the meat pieces, and the remaining two on top so that the foie gras is surrounded by the met.

Heat the the remaining fat from the foie gras, or duck fat or butter. Fry the burgers for 10 minutes over medium high heat. Place the cheese sliced on top of the burgers and continue cooking for 2 minutes, until the cheese has started to melt.

Serve the cheeseburgers on top of good country bread.

 

If you have access to the purest water in the world -- like Andreas had on the show -- nothing can match that. However, red wine would work well as a secondary choice to this incredible burger. 

Economy: Water or beer.
Mid-range: Langedôc/Roussillon, France. Gourmet: Red wine from Northern Rône, France.
