Hamburger à la Lindström  
The origin of this dish is not entirely clear. Most believe that  
it was introduced by Captain Henrik Lindström (1831-1910)  
at Hotell Witt in Kalmar, Sweden, in the 1860s. Others  
suggest that the originator was Maria Kristina Lindström,  
who operated a delicatessen in Stockholm at about the same  
time. Whoever the originator, it is now almost a national dish  
in Sweden.  
Proceed as follows:  
Ingredients:  
1
. Mix ground beef, egg yolks, and cream in a bowl.  
Add salt and pepper. Add enough liquid from pickled  
beets to produce a dough-like mixture.

500 g ground beef  
2 egg yolks  
100 ml cream  
100 g finely chopped  
2. Sautee the chopped onion until translucent. It must  
not, however, turn brownish. Add the onion to the  
beef mixture.

150 ml finely chopped  
pickled red beets  
50-100 ml liquid from  
the pickled beets  
2 tbsp finely chopped  
capers  
3. Gently stir in pickled beets and capers. Some (but not  
we!) even like to add 100-150 grams boiled and  
mashed potatoes.  
4. Shape into four round patties, about the same size as a  
BigMac.  
5. Melt some butter in a frying pan. Fry the beef patties  
at moderate/low heat for 3-5 minutes. It is important  
that they remain rosy inside, otherwise they will be  
too dry.
