Hamburgers with Peperonata
No idea how to serve your hamburgers?
Problems getting your veggies in while on keto?
I decided to give these burgers a spin with a traditional Italian dish: peperonata!
Peperonata is sort of a slow-cooked dish with peppers and garlic served with black olives and capers. Traditionally everything is drenched in olive oil but for this recipe, I used the fat from the burgers and beef tallow.
Why beef tallow? I bought it and I was curious to try it 🙂
This recipe is high-protein so perfect for bodybuilders and powerlifters or whoever wants to put on some muscle mass.
Give your plain burgers some extra Italian taste!
