Burgers with mango salsa.
- 15% fat ground beef patty (100% grassfeed, organic, Whole Foods)
- 2 leaves of iceberg lettuce, could probably use cabbage as well
- slice white onions
- slice of tomato
- slice of Gruyere cheese (young gruyere is more pliable than cave-aged FYI)
Mango Salsa:
- 1-2 ripe but not mushy Mangoes, chopped, peeled and diced (these b's are a bit tricky, google it!)
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 lime, squeezed
- 1/4 lemon, squeezed
- 5-10 Habanero chilies (can substitute for a less awesome chili pepper if you're not a Viking.)
- 1 tbsp butter (for roasting the chilies)
- 1/2 small cucumber peeled and diced
- 1 avocado, sliced into small pieces
- Sea Salt & Pepper to taste
1st step, Roast those chilies! Rub 1 tbsp butter on a sheet of foil, cut in half and place the chilies in between the two pats. Fold up all ends and grill over medium-high heat for maybe 10 minutes, don't place them directly over the hottest part of the grill and continuously move/flip the foil pocket around. We want them roasted but not totally blackened. Do this while preparing the other ingredients.
Add the salsa ingredients together, it's as easy as that. Add the lemon & lime last. Slice the chilies up after roasting and add to the salsa. Mix evenly so the juices cover everything. T
**BE CAREFUL WITH HABANEROS, THE OILS AND SEEDS WILL FUCK YOUR DAY UP! I recommend NOT touching them if you can help it, wear gloves or handle them with a plastic bag. After they're roasted, slice them CAREFULLY, hold them with fork when you slice them. Wash your hands multiple times after each stage. Clean every surface they come into contact with. If you wear contacts like I do, wash multiple times periodically after handling and before taking them out for the evening. Seriously this shit will get ignorant on your corneas.**
Other than that, grill the burger until medium-rare. Add the cheese (doesn't instantly melt FYI) Throw that B in the lettuce leaf, add the tomato, onions and scoop the salsa on. The salsa is good for 2-3 days with the lime and lemon juice and this amount will cover 4-5 burgers.
