8 Burgers With a Twist to Try at Home
March 24, 2017If you haven’t already heard, we love burgers. A lot. There’s just something about these hearty, juicy, and cheesy wonders that keeps us coming back again and again. We rounded up our favourite burger recipes for you to try.
Chimichurri Burgers with Avocado, Monterey Jack, and Cabbage Slaw
Chimichurri—an Argentine herb sauce—is one of the most flavourful condiments out there. We’re making it with parsley, cilantro, lemon, and garlic for a kick. Its brightness perfectly cuts through the burger’s intense richness.
Shrimp Banh Mi Burger with Sriracha-Lime Mayo and Carrot Fries
Banh mi is a popular Vietnamese sandwich with a French flair. It’s traditionally made with crusty baguette, pickled veggies, and spicy condiments. Our twist swaps out baguette for buttery brioche! This meal is freshingly light (especially with the carrot fries) but unbelievably satisfying.
Juicy Lucy Burger with Tomato-Red Onion Jam and Charred Romaine
The decadent Juicy Lucy burger is not for the faint of heart. Stuffed on the inside with oozing cheddar cheese, this burger does not mess around. Charring the baby gem lettuce is the secret technique to making this summery salad.
Thai Pork Laarb Burger with Cucumber-Mint Salad
Laarb is a traditional Northern Thai dish composed of stir-fried ground meat, herbs, and pungent spices. This dish transforms those same flavours into a juicy burger that’s spiked with fragrant lime zest, shallot and pungent fish sauce – a signature Thai condiment that adds incredible flavour to these burgers!
Sriracha Turkey Burgers with Sweet Potato Crisps and Garlic-Ginger Mixed Greens
It’s no secret that we’re obsessed with sriracha here in the HelloFresh test kitchen. It’s the perfect all-purpose hot sauce! We especially love it mixed into a turkey burger that’s topped with a little extra sriracha mayo.
Curried Lentil Burgers with Cucumber Salad and Roasted Potato Wedges
This meat-free burger is delicious in its own right – healthy lentils, spicy curry powder and carrots make the flavour irresistibly exotic!
Pork and Apple Burger with Rosemary Potatoes and Mixed Green Salad
Pork and apple are a match made in heaven. Made into a juicy burger with a pain au lait bun, it doesn’t get much better than this. Crispy rosemary potatoes and a leafy side salad are the perfect accompaniment.
Caramelized Onion Burgers With Garlic Aioli and Crispy Cauliflower
These burgers are topped with balsamic-caramelized onions and garlic aioli for a huge hit of flavour. Instead of fries, we’re tossing cauliflower in panko for a deliciously crispy alternative.
