Hamburger Trio!

Nananananananana...

BURGEEEEER!

(Sing it on the batman tune!)

Today I was walking clueless in the supermarket, thinking what I was going to have for diner. When suddenly I saw some ground chicken. A light bulb lit and I shouted:

IT IS BURGER TIME! Well, I shouted in my head.

It was only back home, when I saw all my spices and some veggies I still had left in the fridge, the idea came to make a hamburger trio. A Mediterranean one, a Oriental burger and a Mexican style burger.

These burgers are perfect for BBQ's, birthday parties, a big snack, or to look at. Yeah, you can just look at them if you like.

And if you are a meat-craving person just change the chicken to any type of meat you like. Also vegetarians can go totally vegan with this!

Burger Trio

Ingredients:

• 400-500gr ground chicken
• 3 good looking buns (mine where about 12cm wide)

for the Mediterranean burger:

• rucola salat
• ½ tomato, thin slices
• 1tbs yoghurt
• ½ paprika, thin slices
• oregano
• balsamico vinegar
• olive oil
• 1 garlic clove
• balsamico cream
• salt & pepper

for the Oriental burger:

• ½ paprika, thin slices
• yoghurt
• cilantro, chopped 
• tandoori spices
• salt & pepper

for the Mexican style burger:

• ½ zucchini, thin slices.
• cheese
• guacamole (find recipe HERE)
• ½ tomato, thin slices
• paprika powder
• cumin powder
• salt & pepper

Preparation:

Heat your grill or grill pan and start grilling the zucchini and the paprika.

Pepare the guacamole and the Mediterranean burger dressing: Mix yoghurt with some olive oil, crushed garlic and some balsamico vinegar.

While the veggies are grilling, devide the ground meat into 3 portions.

Let's see how to season one burger at a time.

Mediterranean needs to be seasoned with oregano, salt, pepper and a little olive oil. Mix it all really well. The Oriental burger needs tandoori spices, salt and pepper for seasoning and the Mexican style burger needs paprika powder, cumin (haf the amount of paprika powder), salt and pepper.

By now the veggies will be done. So start grilling the meat.

Cut your buns, it's time to start making the burgers look like burgers!

This is how to build you burgers:

Mediterranean burger.

Start by layering the zucchini, put the burger on, add some tomato slices, some rucola salad and finish with some dressing and some balsamico cream. Done!

Oriental burger.

The grilled paprika goes on first, followed by the tandoori burger, add some cilantro on top and pour some yoghurt on it. Number two... Check!

Mexican style burger.

Paprika first, hamburger with cheese on top, a slice of tomato and spread generously with guacamole.

All three are ready to devour!

Enjoy!

Mediterranean burger, Oriental burger, Mexican style burger and all three in half.
