Bitoque

Directions

1. 1
   * Note: Don't use really fatty hamburger for this. On the other hand, extremely lean hamburger will have a disappointing flavor; 20%%-fat ground beef is best.Grind the English muffin to crumbs in a food processor. If fresh, dry the crumbs in a microwave oven or by tossing in a skillet.Meanwhile, puree the onion in the blender. Strain the onion juice through a strainer and discard the solids.
2. 2
   Mix the onion juice with the crumbs and squeeze out any excess juice.
3. 3
   Place the crumbs, beef, salt, pepper and a few grindings of nutmeg in a food processor and process until it forms a ball on top of the blade, or knead thoroughly by hand. Form the meat into 4 patties and dust on both sides with flour.
4. 4
   Heat about 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until a corner of one of the patties sizzles immediately if dipped into the oil. Fry the patties until browned on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes, and remove to a warm platter.
5. 5
   Pour off the oil.
6. 6
   Add the chicken broth and scrape up the browned bits from the skillet. Bring to a simmer. Stir the flour into the sour cream until smooth.
7. 7
   Add the sour cream to the skillet and return to a simmer, stirring, 1 minute.
8. 8
   Serve the patties with the sour cream sauce. Accompany with matchstick potatoes and a salad of dandelion greens, and serve fruit for dessert.This recipe yields 2 to 4 servings.
