CILANTRO BURGERS



Cilantro Burgers image

You either like cilantro or you don't. If you're in the pro-cilantro camp, these burgers are for you. They're moist and tender, with a hint of heat from the sambal and curry powder.

Provided by Linda Dalton

Categories     Burgers

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 Tbsp finely chopped scallions, whites only
1/2 c fresh bread crumbs- i use 1 slice italian bread ground in my spice mill
1 Tbsp fresh cilantro chopped
2 tsp sambal olek- chinese chili paste
1/8 tsp curry powder
1/4 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 large egg slightly beaten
1 lb lean ground beef
condiments of your choice

Steps:

  • 1. Combine all ingredients (except beef) in a large bowl. Now add the ground beef, and with fingertips mix gently until incorporated. Don't over mix.
  • 2. Make 4 patties. **TIP** When making the patties, indent your thumb in the center of each patty to make a small well. This will ensure the burgers will cook flat and not puff up.
  • 3. Prepare grill. I use a stove top grill and heat it to high, then lower the temp to medium. Coat grill with cooking spray and add the burgers. Cook 5 minutes on the first side, then 4 minutes on the second. You're burgers will be medium to well done. Serve with whatever condiments you like. I like lettuce, tomato, mayo and Dijon mustard.

Tips:

  • To ensure even cooking, form the burger patties to a uniform thickness.
  • Season the burger patties generously with a blend of spices, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, to enhance their flavor.
  • Handle the burger patties gently to prevent them from becoming tough. Overworking the meat can result in a dense texture.
  • Use a meat thermometer to accurately determine the doneness of the burger patties. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C) for medium-rare, 165°F (74°C) for medium, and 170°F (77°C) for well-done.
  • Toast the burger buns lightly to add a crispy texture and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Pile on your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, and cheese, to create a customized and flavorful burger.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, crafting a delicious cilantro burger involves selecting high-quality ingredients, carefully seasoning the burger patties, and cooking them to perfection. Experiment with different toppings and condiments to create a unique and satisfying burger experience. Whether you prefer a classic cheeseburger or a more adventurous combination, the cilantro burger offers a versatile and flavorful foundation for your culinary creativity. Enjoy the journey of creating and savoring these delectable burgers, and don't forget to experiment with different flavor combinations to find your perfect match.
