Grilled Burgers With Garden Vegetables Food

PERFECT GRILLED BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Form ground beef (preferably chuck) into 6-ounce patties and make an indentation in each. Season the patties on both sides with salt and pepper. Lightly brush the grill grates with vegetable oil, then grill the patties, indentation-side up, until marked on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until marked and slightly firm, about 3 more minutes for medium doneness. For cheeseburgers, top with 2 slices cheese during the last minute of cooking; cover the grill to melt.

GRILLED BURGERS WITH GARDEN VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the grill. In a large mixing bowl, mix meat with basil leaves, red chili pepper, and 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt. Cover and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
• In a large bowl, gently toss zucchini and tomatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and vinegar.
• Divide meat mixture into 8 portions and flatten with your hands to make a patty. Grill hamburgers until meat is cooked through, turning once, about 2 minutes each side.
• Grill zucchini and tomatoes, turning them frequently until zucchini softens and both zucchini and tomatoes are browned on both sides. To serve, place hamburger between grilled vegetables with or without toasted bread or buns.

GARDEN BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Make the dressing: Puree the yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, chives, basil, and salt and pepper to taste in a blender. Transfer to a small bowl, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Make the burgers: Form the beef into four 6-ounce patties, about 3/4 inch thick; press the center of each patty with your thumb to make a 1/2-inch-deep indentation. Season the patties on both sides with salt and pepper. Lightly brush the grill grates with vegetable oil, then grill the patties, indentation-side up, until marked on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until marked and slightly firm, about 3 more minutes for medium doneness. Remove the patties to a plate and let rest 5 minutes. Grill the buns, cut side down, until lightly toasted, about 1 minute.
• Top the bun bottoms with the lettuce, tomatoes, burger patties, alfalfa sprouts and avocado. Drizzle with the dressing, then cover with the bun tops.

GRILLED VEGGIE BURGERS

Steps:

• Brush marinade on the mushroom and the red onion slices on both sides and grilled them until they are pliable but still firm about 3 mins a side on med heat. Remove on plate and allow to cool slightly. Dice them in small pieces and add to mixture below.
• Reserve marinade for brushing later.
• Drain rinse and pat dry beans and mash them with a potato masher. Add the carrot, garlic, pepper, ketchup, herbs and egg and mix well. Start adding the bread crumbs a few tablespoons at a time and add until the mixture will stick together without sticking to hands if you roll it.
• Make patties and arrange on plate and put in fridge until ready to cook or you can begin to cook on the grill on medium immediately.
• Brush grill with olive oil and warm it up on med heat. With the leftover marinade brush it lightly on the tops and put this side down first on the grill and brush to tops for when you will flip them. Grill on each side for 4 mins
• Add cheese and whatever other condiments you might like and hope you enjoy.
