1 egg
1 large avocado - halved, pitted, and peeled
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 (8 ounce) container light sour cream

4 pineapple rings, drained and patted dry
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

BILL GRANGER'S LEMONGRASS AND LIME CHICKEN BURGERS W/ SPICY SLAW



Bill Granger's Lemongrass and Lime Chicken Burgers W/ Spicy Slaw image

I really enjoy the recipes of Australian chef Bill Granger. He always comes up with dishes that somehow sound indulgent and healthy at the same time. This sounds like the kind of fusion food I have always thought I would experience if I ever got to go to Sydney. Cooking time includes chilling time for the burgers.

Yield 20 burgers

1 pound ground chicken
1/2 pound Mexican style chorizo sausage, removed from casing
1/2 pound sea scallops, chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
20 mini rolls
10 butter lettuce leaves, torn in 1/2
4 plum tomatoes, thinly sliced
1 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 (4-ounce) jar pimentos, finely chopped, juice reserved

Steps:

  • For the burger:
  • Combine all the burger ingredients, except the rolls, lettuce and tomatoes in a large bowl and mix well. Form into small patties about 2 inches in diameter and arrange on a platter lined with waxed paper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to grill.
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grill grates and put the burgers on the grill to cook for 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a serving platter and serve on mini rolls with lettuce, tomato and spicy pimento mayo.
  • For the mayo:
  • Combine all the ingredients and the reserved pimento juice into a small bowl. Mix well until blended and serve with the burgers

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for the best results. Ground chicken can also be used, but it will produce a less juicy burger.
  • Season the chicken well. Use a variety of spices and herbs to flavor the chicken, such as paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and cumin.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Cook the chicken burgers over medium heat until they are cooked through but still juicy. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Use a variety of toppings. Spicy chicken burgers can be topped with a variety of ingredients, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado, cheese, and bacon.
  • Serve the burgers on a bun or in a wrap. Spicy chicken burgers can be served on a bun, in a wrap, or even on a bed of greens.
