If you’re ready to impress your family with a delicious and mouthwatering recipe, then try this unique sweet-hot Thai burger recipe from the “Build a Better Burger” contest winner, Karen Bernards of McMinnville, Ore. Bernards included crushed chips in the patties to give the burgers a blend of flavors and then added lime juice, cilantro and sweet Thai chili sauce, garlic, basil, fresh ginger, English cucumbers, sprouts and red bell peppers into an accompanying Thai salad.
Makes 6 burgers
My love of Thai food and my love of a good burger helped me to create this recipe. This is a great burger to serve at your next party. It has a great fresh taste.
INGREDIENTS
Cilantro mayonnaise
Thai salad
Patties
Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high.
To make the mayonnaise, whisk the mayonnaise, lime juice and cilantro in a small bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside.
To make the salad, whisk the lime juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, sweet chili sauce, ginger, cilantro and basil in a small bowl. Combine the cucumber, red pepper, and bean sprouts in a large bowl. Toss with the dressing to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside.
To make the patties, combine the chuck, salt, sweet chili sauce, green onions and chip pieces in a large bowl, handling as little as possible. Shape into 6 patties to fit the buns. Loosely cover with plastic wrap and set aside.
When the grill is ready, brush the grill rack with vegetable oil. Place the patties on the rack, cover, and cook, turning once until done to preference, 5 to 7 minutes on each side for medium. Place the buns, cut side down, on the outer edges of the grill rack to toast lightly during the last 2 minutes of grilling.
To assemble the burgers, spread a generous amount of the cilantro mayonnaise over the cut sides of the buns. On each bun bottom, place a grilled patty, followed by equal portions of the Thai salad, add the top bun and serve.
