SUNNY'S GREEN GODDESS TWICE BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• For the potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Rub the potatoes all over with the oil. Season the skins with salt and pepper and place on a baking sheet. Bake until tender inside, about 1 hour. Set aside until cool enough to handle, but still warm. Leave the oven on.
• For the yogurt mixture: While the potatoes are baking, in a medium bowl, stir together the yogurt, cilantro, dill, mint, parsley and scallions. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• For the filling: Slice each potato in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to gently hollow out each half, leaving about 1/4 inch of flesh around the border and bottom. Mash the potato flesh in a large bowl with a fork or potato masher. Add the melted butter, half of the cream or milk, 1 cup of the cheese blend, 1/2 cup of the yogurt mixture, and salt and pepper to taste. Reserve the rest of the yogurt mixture for serving. Mix to combine, adding more cream or milk to make smooth. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
• Re-bake the potatoes: Line a baking sheet with parchment or nonstick aluminum foil. Place the hollowed-out potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Using a large spoon, fill the recess of each potato with the filling. Top the potatoes with the remaining cheese. Bake until the tops begin to brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with a dollop of the reserved yogurt mixture.

SUNNY'S SPICY GREEN GODDESS BURGER

Steps:

• For the patty. In a large bowl, add the beef and gently break it up so it isn't in one big lump. High over the top, sprinkle the salt, cumin and a few nice grinds of black pepper. With your less dominant hand, make a claw or pitchfork and fold the beef over itself while turning the bowl with your other hand. The goal is to blend but not over-mix the beef. Divide into 4 equal parts and make into balls. Cover and let them rest at room temperature for 2 hours.
• For the glaze. In a medium bowl, add the jelly, cilantro, dill, mint, parsley, scallions and jalapeno. Stir to combine.
• To grill and glaze. Heat the grill to 400 degrees F.
• Press or form each ball of beef into a patty slightly larger than the circumference of the buns. Place over the direct heat of the grill and cook until they release, about 4 minutes. Flip the burgers, move to the indirect heat of the grill and immediately top each with a nice spoonful of the glaze. Continue to cook until desired doneness.
• For serving: To build the burgers, start on the bottom buns and build up. Place the cheese, grilled and glazed patty, a spritz of lime and a handful of chips on each. Smear equal amounts of avocado on the inside of each top bun. Top the burgers and serve.
