Roasted Red Pepper And Feta Stuffed Burger Recipe 465

ROASTED PEPPER FETA POPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray. Wrap a 3-foot piece of foil around the center of the pan, scooting it down as best you can.
• Cut the tops off the peppers and hollow out the centers to remove the membranes and seeds. Using a small spoon is easiest. Set aside.
• Add the garlic to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add the feta, cream cheese, oil, pepperoncini and juice. Pulse until it is a smooth mixture. Sprinkle in the parsley and oregano, then pulse a few more times until blended. Spoon the cheese mixture into the hollowed peppers.
• Arrange the peppers so that they are standing up nestled side-by-side in a single layer in the prepared Bundt pan. Bake until the cheese mixture is golden, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with parsley. Let cool slightly before eating, or serve at room temperature.

LOADED GREEK BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Cut the red bell pepper in half from top to bottom; remove the stem, seeds, and ribs; place pepper cut-side-down onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the pepper has blackened and blistered, about 5 minutes. Allow the blackened pepper to cool and steam in a paper bag for 5 minutes; peel and dice; set aside.
• Stir together the 2 ounces feta cheese, mayonnaise, lime juice, the 1 sprig chopped mint, and the 1 sprig chopped parsley in a small bowl; set aside.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Place the roasted red pepper, ground beef, feta cheese, spinach, bread crumbs, egg, garlic, onion, basil, the remaining mint, and the remaining parsley in a bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and mix gently with your hands until evenly combined. Divide the meat mixture to form 4 equal 4 1/2 inch patties.
• Cook on the preheated grill until the burgers are cooked to your desired degree of doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Serve burgers on warm toasted Kaiser roll with the feta cheese spread, fresh tomatoes, and lettuce.

ROASTED RED PEPPER AND FETA STUFFED BURGER RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Heat your grill to a medium high. Get all of your ingredients out and ready to go. Slice the roasted red bell pepper into thin strips. Mix the hamburger meat with the Creole seasonings. Take a medium handful of ground beef and place it into the hamburger press (found at Sur la Table). Next, put the lid on top and press down. When you open the hamburger press, gently move the meat up all sides of the press walls. Once the top of the press has been removed, layer the interior of the burger with olive tapenade, then feta cheese and last with red pepper. Next, take another small heap of ground beef and press it into a flat patty that covers the opening of the stuffed burger. Gently tap down with the press and then remove the burger from the press all together. Seal all sides of the ground beef patty with your fingers and continue with the other three patties. Use a pastry brush and lightly spread olive oil over all four patties and season with salt and pepper. Cook on the grill for 16-18 minutes (or until cooked). If the burger is burning, place on an area of the grill that isn't so hot and keep the lid closed. When the burgers are almost finished, toast the buns on the grill. Serve the burgers with mayonnaise, lettuce and tomatoes.
