Herbed Burgers With Spicy Peanut Sauce Food

EASY THAI BURGERS WITH PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (can probably use an oven broiler or skillet to pan fry the burgers).
• For the burgers, add the ground meat, ginger, green onions, chili garlic sauce, salt and pepper to a food processor and pulse until combined. Alternate method: use an electric stand or handheld mixer OR make sure the green onions and ginger are very finely chopped and combine very well with your hands. Shape the meat mixture into 5-6 patties about 1/2-inch thick and slightly larger in diameter than the buns you are using (they'll shrink a bit while cooking).
• For the peanut sauce, whisk or blend all the ingredients together. The sauce can be made several days in advance and refrigerated.
• For the slaw, in a medium bowl, toss together the carrots, cabbage and green onion. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice (or vinegar), oil, sugar and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss the vegetables with the dressing and set aside until serving. The slaw can be made several hours (or up to a day) in advance.
• Grill/cook the burgers until desired doneness (if using ground pork or ground turkey, cook until well done). Assemble the burgers on buns topped with peanut sauce and slaw.
