Hamburger!

Yesterday I wanted to cook something nice and simple: A hamburger with salad and pandan rice.

Step 1: the salad
Ingredients:
1 lettuce, in separate leaves
1 half onion, cut in very small pieces
1 yellow paprika, cut in very small pieces
2 toes of garlic
10 small white onions (the sour ones out of the pot)
1 teaspoon of "herbes de provence"
Some fresh thyme and a handful of fresh parsley
Pepper
Olive oil
Wine vinegar
Wash the lettuce very well, let it dry very well (no water in the salad please!). Cut the toes of garlic over the middle and move it over the inside of the salad bowl. Put the salad in, together with all other ingredients and mix very well. Leave it in the fridge for at least 15 min.

Step 2: The rice
Ingredients:
2 cups (full) of pandan rice
1 teaspoon of dry basil
Cook the rice according to the instruction on the box, after cooking, pour the water away and put the basil in, mix well and leave the pan closed on the table for 15min.

Step 3: The hamburgers
Ingredients hamburger:
2 hamburgers from the butcher (BIG ones)
2 white buns, cut open
2 leaves of lettuce, one for each bun
1 half onion, cut to rings
Mayo
1 teaspoon of "herbes de provence"
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Take the hamburgers out of the fridge at least 15min before you put them in the pan, also put a little bit of salt on each side of them.
Take a paper cloth and put a little bit of olive oil on it. Move it over the bottom of the grillpan, only a very little bit is enough. Heat the grillpan a few minutes until is it hot and put the hamburgers and the onion in the pan.
Cut the buns in half and put a leave of lettuce on the lower halves of the buns.
After baking them well in the pan, put each hamburger on a bun, put some herbes de provence and pepper on the hamburger, put some mayo on it and close the bun.

This is it, simple, but tastes very good.
