       Yield: 4 Servings
  
       1 tb Butter
       2 tb Onions; finely chopped
       1 lb Ground beef; lean
       4    Egg yolks
       1 tb Capers; drained & finely
            -chopped
   1 1/2 ts Salt
            Fresh ground pepper
       1 ts White vinegar
     1/2 c  Heavy cream
     1/4 c  Beets; fresh cooked/canned,
            -drained & finely chopped
       2 tb Butter
       2 tb Vegetable oil
       4    Fried eggs (opt)
  
   In a small pan, melt the 1 tablespoon of butter. When the foam
   subsides, add the onions and cook for 2 or 3 minutes or until they
   are soft and transparent, but not brown. Scrape into a large bowl and
   add the meat, egg yolks, capers, salt, pepper and white vinegar. Mix
   together and moisten with the heavy cream. Then stir in the drained
   chopped beets. Shape the mixture into 12-14 round partties, about 2-3
   inches in diameter. In a heavy large skillet, heat the butter and
   oil. When the foam subsides, add the patties 3 or 4 at a time and
   cook over moderately high heat for 5 to 6 minutes on each side or
   until they are a deep brown. In Sweden, these spicy hamburgers are
   frequently served with a fried egg set atop each, in which case they
   are made larger and thicker.
