In a very cold mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, onion, capers, chiles,
cilantro, Worcestershire, olive oil, and Tabasco. Mix together briefly with
your hands until all the ingredients are well distributed. Form the mixture
into 6 loose round patties. Place a patty in the middle of each of 6
chilled appetizer plates, make a well in the center of each, and scatter
some parsley around the edge of each plate. Nestle an egg yolk in the
center of each patty and garnish each plate with lime halves and toast
triangles. Serve immediately. This recipe yields 6 servings.
Comments: We caution the use of raw eggs, unless you are absolutely sure
they are very fresh.
