Favorite Recipes: Far Out Fusion Burgers

FAR OUT FUSION BURGERS

We've always been partial to fun burger toppings, but this fusion of flavors truly blew our minds.  "That sauce is FAR OUT!" Hutch exclaimed the first time he tasted it.  Most of this work can be done ahead of time, but as you can see in the video, it's super easy to do even while camping. The burger mixture can wait overnight as long as it is refrigerated. The sauce keeps well for about 4 days in the fridge (if it lasts that long!) and is remarkably good in salads, slaw, sandwiches, over eggs, anything grilled, and does double time as a dip.  Trust us, you'll suddenly find a reason to put this sauce on everything!  Note:  This recipe was provided to us by Hutch's mom, but we have altered it to our personal tastes and dietary needs, as listed below.

Far Out Sauce!

• 3/4 cup mayonnaise (not low fat)

• 1/4 cup Fage Greek yogurt

• 1/2 tightly-packed cup fresh mint leaves

• 1 teaspoon sugar, or to taste

• 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

• 2 teaspoons sriracha or other hot sauce, or to taste

Fusion Burgers

• 1 package Beyond Beef (1 pound) or regular beef, ground turkey...whatever you like.

• 2 large garlic cloves, minced

• 1/2 cup fresh jicama, cut into 1/4-inch cubes

• 1/2 cup coarsely crushed pretzels or Ritz crackers

• 1.5 TBSP Worcestershire sauce

• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

• 3 whole scallions, thinly sliced

• 1 egg
  
  

Toppings

• Your favorite burger buns
• 1 medium cucumber, ultra thin slices with veggie peeler or mandolin
• Fresh cilantro branches

Instructions

1. Make the sauce by pureeing the mayonnaise, mint leaves, sugar, lime juice, and the hot sauce with a food processor or immersion blender. Chill the sauce until you're ready to use it (up to 4 days).

2. In a large bowl, blend together all the burger ingredients and divide into 4 burgers. You can chill (covered) until ready to cook (up to 24 hours).

3. Cook the burgers, turning them multiple times to make sure it all cooks.  If using Beyond Beef for the first time, it cooks very similarly to regular beef.  We like to sear the outside a bit for an extra caramelized flavor.

4. Toast the buns, slather the sauce generously on both sides, and top with cilantro and cucumbers slices.

5.  Serve up the burgers and enjoy!  Makes four 1/4 pound burgers.

To make the slaw shown in the video:

Use a mandolin to thinly slice purple cabbage, carrots, apples, slivered almonds, and green onions.  Mix well, add Far Out Sauce, and cracked black pepper to taste.
