Grilled Flatbread With Garlic Rubbed Fillet Of Beef White Bean Puree And Sun Dried Tomato Chutney Food

GRILLED GARLIC FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Whisk 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 minced garlic clove and 1/4 teaspoon each kosher salt, dried oregano and red pepper flakes. Stretch 1 pound pizza dough into a 1/2-inch-thick round. Brush with some of the garlic oil, flip onto the grill and cook over medium heat, covered, until puffy, 10 minutes. Brush with more of the oil, flip, cover and cook through, 5 more minutes. Brush with the remaining oil. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan.

BLENDED BEEF, WHITE BEAN AND SQUASH BURGERS

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
• Add the beans, smoked paprika, garlic powder and onion powder to a large bowl. Stir to combine, then set aside.
• Combine the butternut squash, olive oil, a large pinch salt and a couple grinds black pepper on a small baking sheet. Toss to coat and spread in an even layer. Roast in the oven until the squash is tender and deeply browned in spots, about 25 minutes, rotating the baking sheet once halfway through the cooking time.
• Add the squash to the bean mixture and stir to combine. Allow to cool completely.
• Once cooled, use a fork to roughly mash the squash and beans. It should be mostly smooth but with small chunks of squash and beans throughout. Add the beef and 1/2 teaspoon salt and use your hands to mix until combined. Divide into 4 portions and form each into a patty about 4 inches in diameter and a little more than 1/2 inch thick.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the canola oil and swirl to coat. Season the patties liberally on both sides with salt and pepper and add to the pan. Cook until deeply browned and a crust is formed on the first side, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip carefully and cook until the second side is also browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Layer 2 pieces of the cheese (1 slice total) on top of each patty, then cover the pan and cook until cheese is just melted, about 1 minute.
• Layer the patties, lettuce and tomato on the toasted hamburger buns and serve ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise alongside.

GRILLED CHERRY TOMATO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Prepare a charcoal grill for direct grilling, high heat.
• Toss the tomatoes with oil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a grill basket and grill until charred and slightly soft, tossing occasionally, about 5 minutes
• Combine the vinegar, sugar, coriander and cumin seeds in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until thickened to a glaze, about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly, then pour over the tomatoes. Toss, mashing the tomatoes slightly. Add the herbs and the zest, toss again, taste and season.

GRILLED RABBIT SAUSAGE OVER STEWED WHITE BEANS

Steps:

• For the sausage:
• Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl. Grind the mixture in a meat grinder fitted with a 1/4-inch die or coarsely grind in a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Form a teaspoon of the mixture into a small ball and pan-fry for a minute on each side to test the seasoning. Form the mixture into 6 (3-inch) patties, 1/4-inch thick. In a large saute pan, over medium heat, add the oil. When the oil is hot, pan-fry the patties for 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Alternatively, cook sausage patties on a greased grill and cook over medium-high heat for 6 to 8 minutes on each side.
• For the Beans:
• Heat the oil in a saute pan, over medium heat. Fry the garlic slices until golden, about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove and drain on paper towels. Add the shallots and beans to the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the spinach. Season with salt and pepper. Saute for 1 minute. Add the broth. Cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the thyme and continue to simmer for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter. To serve, spoon the bean mixture in the center of each plate. Lay 2 patties against each other over the beans. Garnish with parsley.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
