I know burgers are a “man’s food” but I have to admit that I could eat a burger every week and not get bored. And even though I love beef burgers, I’m not picky either – I’ll eat chicken, veggie (portobellos…mmmm), you name it. One of my favorite things to do is to play around with the flavors going into and outside of the burger.
Today’s dish creates a cilantro-red pepper pesto which tops a semi-plain beef burger. Pineapple complements the sweetness of the red pepper pesto. Grilling is best for this recipe as both the burgers and pineapple are grilled.
GRILLED PINEAPPLE BURGERS WITH ROASTED RED PEPPER PESTO
Mix beef, egg and oats together and season with salt and pepper. Form into patties. Grill until desired level of doneness has been achieved and top with cheese slices.
Spoon 2-3 T of pesto on to each burger bun. Top with burgers and pineapple slices.
Pesto
In a food processor, combine cilantro, roasted red peppers, pistachios, garlic and olive oil and process until smooth.
And if you didn’t realize just how far my burger obsession has reached, here are some of the burger recipes I’ve already posted::
I’m a huge fan of one-pot meals. One word: laziness. Since my kitchen always looks like a tornado blew through when I’m cooking, it’s nice to have a meal that minimizes the wreckage called dirty dishes. And so this meal is perfect. All ingredients go into one pot and you come away with only a handful of…
Lately I’ve been on a crepe kick. Blame it on my sweet tooth (see Gluten Free Pecan Torte or Chocolate Chocolate Cake if you need a refresher) or on the fact that it’s summer. In fact, I already posted a crepe picture earlier this week on Instagram. And now I’m dedicating an entire post to them. Crepes are thin, French…
I love pasta. In any form really. And I even made pasta – like the actual noodle – once. Someday I will be ambitious enough to do so once again and this time, I’ll share it on the blog. So what goes perfectly with pasta? Wine. And lots of it. Scratch that – wine really…
Pairing the old with the new today: my black cape and flared denim. I’m sure we’ve talked about this before but there comes a point in every season where I start getting bored with my closet. And it’s not for lack of clothes by any means. Rather, it’s more of a creative failure. I’ve had several…
These chocolate cupcakes turned me into a chocolate lover for the day. And I think this icing has instantly become my favorite icing. It holds its shape and it is so easy to make. If you scroll down to the recipe, you can see that the icing is mainly comprised of sweetened condensed milk. Does…
I’m obsessed with fresh figs. They may be my favorite fruit (though they’re competing in first place with blueberries) and I only wish they were available year round, for less-than-exorbitant prices. Still, I always manage to snag a box when I’m at my local grocery store which happens to carry them consistently in-season. I love…
