  The fun thing about a dish like a hamburger is that it's customizable. You can use a ton of ingredients to give very different flavors and textures from the usual hamburger. You might accompany it with a seasoning to enhance the meat, even a fried element to add more texture, or perhaps another protein to make it more filling. To get your imagination flowing, we recommend 7 ingredients you didn't know you could add to your hamburger. Onion Rings Crunchy yet light, they're an excellent addition to your hamburger. You might already add onion to your recipe, but we assure you that breading it will take it to another dimension. There are different ways to fry this ingredient; a very popular method is to create the batter with dark beer, which gives it a deep, caramelized flavor. Another important detail is that it adds much more volume to the hamburger, making it look magazine-worthy.

The good thing is that you don’t have to do much with this product; you can serve it raw in the hamburger or even roasted with a bit of salt and oil to make it more golden. Another option is to slice the beetroot super thin and bake it, giving you fried beetroot that can replace French fries.   Guacamole No hamburger in the Mexican style is complete without this delicious ingredient. Besides giving a much more appetizing appearance, guacamole adds a bit of acidity, richness, and of course, all those nutrients from the good fats in avocado. Many put it on the meat, but this can make it difficult to eat; we recommend using it as a condiment on both buns instead.

Hummus or chickpea is a super healthy alternative to enhance your hamburger, and it's extremely versatile: you can prepare hummus with chili powder, different vegetables, lemon juice, etc. Easy Hummus: http://www.kiwilimon.com/receta/botanas/dips/hummus-facil   Fried Egg To make your hamburger super decadent, cheese and bacon along with their respective condiments are not enough; adding a fried egg shows you're serious. We recommend adding it with the white fried but the yolk raw; the idea is that when you cut into the hamburger or take a bite, the yolk flows and seeps into the meat, giving much more flavor and a silky texture.   Artichoke Dip If you thought this dip was only served with carrots and jicama, think again. That delicious and light artichoke flavor cuts through the richness of the hamburger meat very well. In this case, we do not recommend using yellow cheese or cheddar, but rather a more tangy cheese to pair with the dip in your hamburger. Perhaps a goat cheese or even blue cheese.
