Adobo Avocado Burger
Yields: 6 Burgers
Ingredients
1 pound lean grass fed ground sirloin
1/2 pound Roasted Mushroom Base, recipe follows
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 1/2 tablespoons P.S. Flavor!™ Adobo Kitchen
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/3 cup chopped cilantro or flat leaf parsley
Whole wheat hamburger buns
6 oz. Pepper Jack cheese or white cheddar cheese
Chili Lime “Ketchup”, recipe follows
1 avocado, peeled, pitted & sliced
Fresh Corn and Tomato Salad, recipe follows
Method
In a large bowl, mix together the beef, Roasted Mushroom Base, onion, 2 tsp. P.S. Flavor!™ Adobo Kitchen, Worcestershire sauce, mustard and herbs. Form 6 patties and place them on a plate or a lightly oiled sheet pan. Refrigerate, if desired.
When ready to cook, season each burger with an additional 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoons P.S. Flavor!™ Adobo Kitchen on each side and grill or pan sear until done, topping with a slice or half-slice of Pepper Jack or white cheddar cheese at the end of cooking. Let sit for a couple of minutes.
To serve, place burger on whole wheat buns, with a thick spread of Chili Lime “Ketchup” and then top with sliced avocado.
Serve with Fresh Corn and Tomato Salad.
Roasted Mushroom Base
Ingredients
1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 pound Cremini or white button mushrooms, quartered
1 teaspoon P.S. Flavor!™ Porcini Pepper
Method
Place a baking sheet pan in oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, mushrooms and Porcini Pepper blend. Spread in an even layer on the baking sheet. Bake on the middle rack of the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring half way through, until the mushrooms are tender and quite dry. They will reduce considerably in volume. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Grind in grinder or food processor fitted with the steel blade until chopped fine (to the size of ground meat) but still retaining some texture. Taste and adjust seasonings. Makes 1/2 lb. or 1 cup.
Chili Lime "Ketchup"
Ingredients
1 large shallot, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
2 pints cherry or grape tomatoes
1-2 Chipotle Peppers (from can of Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce), seeded and chopped, along with 2 tablespoons of the Adobo Sauce
1/3 cup honey
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons P.S. Flavor!™ Chili Lime
Zest of 1 lime
Method
Put the shallot, garlic, tomatoes, peppers, honey, vinegar and Chili Lime into a large saucepan, set over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to very low, cover and cook gently until the tomatoes are soft and begin to break down, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
With an immersion blender, purée mixture until smooth; add lime zest.
Cool, and then taste and adjust seasoning with additional Chili Lime.
Makes about 2 pints. Store extra in the refrigerator for up to one month.
