It's grilling time and grilling means hamburgers! This weekend for our Memorial Day Celebration I jazzed up our burgers - I made Jalapeno Burgers for Dann and Sauteed Mushroom and Spinach Burgers for my parents and I. I simply dropped a seeded Jalapeno in the food processor with 1lb of beef, a slice of bread and an egg to help it all stick together. For the Mushroom/Spinach burger I sauteed the mushrooms with a teaspoon of butter, then added the spinach just at the end of the cooking to help the spinach wilt. I let the medley cool to room temperature and then put the mixture, 1 egg and a slice of bread in a food processor along with 1lb of beef.
To compliment our burgers we had potato salad accented with mustard green chiffonade, cucumber slices with garlic dill goat cheese, and a garden salad with Roquefort cheese. I topped my burger with a radish picked from our garden moments before eating, actually all the ingredients with the exception of the mushrooms and salad dressing where from either our garden or the farmers market!
As the season progresses and burgers make there way more and more to your grilling menu think of ways you can mix it up just a little! And be sure to share your ideas with the rest of us foodies!
