Contributed by: News Canada
(NC) - If your regular burger recipe seems a little been-there-done-that, try these new approaches from Lipton Onion Recipe Soup. They'll put some sizzle in your summer!
Break New Ground
Beef is classic, but some other great grinds include:
- chicken or turkey
- pork, lamb or veal
- fresh tuna or salmon
Mix and match
Stir any of these zesty mix-ins into your burger mixture:
- chopped green onions
- minced jalapeños
- chopped green or black olives
- minced sun-dried tomatoes
- a sprinkling of fresh herbs
Stuff It
Create a well in the burger patty, stuff with cheese, seal the meat and cook these cheesy combinations:
- goat cheese & minced roasted red peppers
- mozzarella & basil
- cheddar cheese & diced bacon
- Swiss & sauteed sliced mushrooms
Get Creative With Toppings
Challenge ketchup's reign over your burger by topping your burger off with one of these:
- pesto
- grilled pineapple slice
- guacamole & salsa
- horseradish sauce
- sauerkraut
Choose A Better Bun
Choose a flavourful sturdy bread, brush with a little olive oil and toss on the grill at the last minute. A few to try:
- Focaccia
- Ciabatta buns
- Sourdough rolls
- Olive bread
- Pita pockets
