Grilled Hamburger Recipe


Here is another hamburger recipe from the Food Network magazine I tried. The burger looked really good as it was and the only change I made was using iceberg lettuce instead of watercress. I was really excited to make burgers this week because I finally got a new grill! The highlight of these burgers is the avocado relish. The avocado relish is basically a combination of avocados, jalapeño peppers, onions, cilantro, and lime juice. These burgers are great with a thick slice of tomato and for the cheese- you can either use slices of Monterey jack or cheddar. This is just another one of my great summer recipes. This will make 2 large burgers or you could get more depending on the size of your patties. Enjoy.

  3. Remove patties from grill.
  4. To make avocado relish – in a medium bowl combine avocados, onion, jalapeño pepper, cilantro. Squeeze the juice of 1 lime onto the mixture tossing to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
  5.  To assemble burgers- place a patty on the bottom of a hamburger bun. Top with a slice of tomato, lettuce and avocado relish.
  6. over with the top half of the bun.

I find if you make the hamburger patties 1 to 2 hours before you cook them and chill them in the fridge they stay together very well on the grill. Thanks Bobby Flay!
