Five Star Chili Burgers With Homemade Relish Recipes

CHILLI BURGER WITH ROASTED TOMATOES & RED ONION RELISH

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/ gas 6. Mix the beef with the chilli and some chopped coriander, then season well. Shape into four patties about 2.5cm thick. Chill until needed.
• Keeping the tomatoes on the vine, put them in a roasting tin. Drizzle over 1 tbsp of olive oil and season. Roast for 12-15 mins until just soft.
• Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a non-stick frying pan. Then cook burgers on each side for 4 mins for rare or 5 mins for medium. For the relish, mix 2 tbsp of olive oil, the lime juice and sweet chilli sauce, parsley, coriander leaves and red onion. To serve, place a burger on a muffin half, add a branch of tomatoes and top with red onion relish.

THROWDOWN'S GREEN CHILE CHEESEBURGERS

Steps:

• Burgers:
• For the queso sauce:
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Add the milk, increase the heat to high and cook, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the cheese until melted; add the Parmesan and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Keep warm.
• For the relish:
• Combine all ingredients in a bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• For the pickled red onions:
• Bring vinegar, water, sugar and salt to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from the heat and let cool for 10 minutes. Put the onions in a medium bowl, pour the vinegar over, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 48 hours before serving.
• For the burgers:
• Heat a griddle or large saute pan over high heat. Add the oil and let it heat until it begins to shimmer.
• Shape the ground beef with your hands into 4 round patties about 1 1/2 inches thick and season each burger on both sides with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook the burgers until golden brown on both sides and cooked to medium, about 8 minutes.
• Put the burgers on the buns and top each with a few tablespoons of the queso sauce, relish, onions and chips.

FIVE-STAR CHILI BURGERS WITH HOMEMADE RELISH

Steps:

• Gently stir all the ingredients together in a mixing bowl. You might like to adjust the quantities - not too much - until you have a relish that perfectly suits your tastes.
• If you like, keep a little of the parsley aside to sprinkle on the top of the relish as a summery green garnish.
• Cold is cool. Ground chuck with a good fat content needs to stay cold so that the fat only starts to melt when your patty hits the heat. For the very little mixing that's needed, a steel bowl and wooden spoon will help keep the temperatures low.
• So, tip all the ingredients - except the olive oil and salt - into a mixing bowl. Now gently, and I mean gently, stir the mix just enough to bring all the ingredients evenly together. Good. Time now to form your patties.
• Divide the patty mix evenly into four. Gently hand-mould the mix into four patties that are no more than 3/4 inch thick and four inches in diameter.
• What's really important here is to avoid compacting the patties too much. Use just enough hand pressure so that the mix holds together in somewhat flattish discs. A neat-edged, uniformly round shape is way less important than a lightly compacted patty.
• Now pop them onto a plate and let them chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes.
• Heat the skillet* over a high heat for a minute or so until it's really hot. As that's happening, use your fingers to quickly spread a 1/4 teaspoon of olive oil over each patty's top and bottom. Now sprinkle a good pinch of salt over each oiled side. Grand. Your patties are heading for that hot, hot skillet right now.
• Lay the patties into the skillet and let them sit on that searing heat for two minutes on each side. That will give you medium rare patties - each with a nicely charred, just slightly crunchy outside and a still just pinkish, juicy inside. Perfect. Don't be tempted to fiddle with the patties as they cook, just let them be for those two minutes each side.
• Remove the patties and set them aside on a warm plate. It's time to put a little toasted color onto the buns. So, slice each bun through its waistline, and add all four tops - cut side down - to the skillet and turn the heat to high. Leave them on that heat for 90 seconds so they just pick up a little toasty golden colour. Done. Turn off the heat and remove the tops from the skillet.
• Spread a generous layer of the relish onto the untoasted bottom of each bun. Lay a patty on top and then spread another kindly helping of relish onto the patty's top. That's it. Done! Serve at once with napkins.

BARBECUE BURGER RELISH

Steps:

• Heat the sunflower oil in a saucepan over a medium heat and cook the red onion, finely chopped, for 5 mins until slightly softened. Add the chopped tomatoes, garlic clove, finely grated, sweet smoked paprika, tomato purée, red wine vinegar and red chilli, if using. Season and simmer for 15-20 mins until the mixture has cooked down and thickened slightly.
