Directions
This burger has an Australian accent: Pickled beets and a fried egg are a classic Aussie way to top a burger. You pickle the beets yourself—it only takes 30 minutes of standing time. Be sure that the yolk is still runny. The richness of the egg with the sweetness and acidity of the pickled beets is fabulous!

In a large saucepan combine the beets and enough water to cover. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cook, covered, about 30 minutes or until tender. Drain and let cool slightly. Under running water, rub off the peels. Slice the beets thinly; set aside. In a medium saucepan bring sugar, the ½ cup water, vinegar, orange peel, 2 teaspoons salt, and the cracked black pepper to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the beets, remove from the heat. Let stand for 30 minutes; drain, discarding vinegar mixture. |
