What You'll Need to Do:
- In a pan, saute mushrooms and green onions in a drizzle of olive oil. Deglaze with white wine. Once the wine has evaporated, remove the vegetables from heat and let cook. Add salt to taste.
- In a bowl, mix ground beef, cooked vegetables, the Mozzarellissima and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Shape the ground beef mixture into balls and flatten them to form hamburger patties.

- Finely mince the grilled radicchio to garnish your hamburgers once they are cooked.
Tips: You can replace the white mushrooms with shitake or procini mushrooms. You only need a small quantity of porcinis, as their flavour is fairly strong. you can also substitute the white wine with brandy.
