hello lovely people it's me and the one
and only gennaro cantaldo and we are
going to make the best ultimate jamie's
italian burger it's the ultimate burger
and we wrote this together
spongy roll smoky pancetta incredible
secret sauce and
we've got um three cups of meat here
we've got flank we've got chuck which is
my favorite cut a lovely mixture of meat
and fat added fat quality fat
and aged trim okay so you get a lovely
kind of umami sort of depth of flavor
that's gorgeous now we're going to add a
little bit
of sourdough bread to this
we're going to blend it very simple
we're letting the flavor and quality of
the meat come out
we're going to season it like a steak
these onions are just heavenly with many
things thyme bay leaves loads of
balsamic vinegar this is hard guys about
35 minutes okay
so the patty is on push it down we want
it imperfect
we don't want a perfect sphere
so gennaro what are we going to do next
look at this lovely pancetta pancetta
it's actually easy to kind of treat you
like a cake yeah so the pancetta
comes
from around here yeah so this is the
pancetta here
and then down here is the um never mind
the pancetta
we want a nice thick slice of pancetta
and we want the burger and the pancetta
to cook in the same environment okay
because we've got lovely smokiness there
turn that over
we're using a griddle pan here lovely
people you could absolutely use a pan
you could use a barbecue and what i love
the the chefs at james telling to do is
sometimes we tie up
woody herbs right it's a nice little tip
that use herb brushes to really make it
juicy and base i'm just going to cut
this pancetta up a little bit just so
it's kind of more manageable
to eat
once we've got that really gnarly
crunchy crispy outside on the burger but
it's still not quite cooked through we
put the cheese on top wonderful
west comb
cheddar
then we put a bowl on top
now that kind of creates a little
make-believe oven right so it just
starts to melt that cheese the bacon
around it's still getting crispy so look
when that cheese starts to melt we can
then put the wonderful
pancetta
on top and we push this
just to one side so then we can just
take this lovely brioche bun it's
crunchy and spongy and therefore
soaks up the juice that's gonna come out
of that burger
let's build
this burger
the lovely balsamic onions heirloom
tomatoes

with the cheese and the bacon and then
