Stuffed Ranch Burgers With Citrus Slaw Recipes

SWEET & TANGY CITRUS SLAW

Steps:

STUFFED RANCH BURGERS WITH CITRUS SLAW

Steps:

• Take the cabbage and slice it into 1/4 inch rings, then chop into fine strips. Place in a large bowl, add the olive oil and lime juice, then tear the cilantro with your fingers and toss in the bowl as well as a heaping pinch of salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly, adjusting the salt and pepper to taste. Cover and place in the fridge until the burgers are ready to be plated.
• Place the beef in a large bowl and cover with the ranch dressing, then mix until the two are fully incorporated. Separate the beef into 6 balls, about 1/4 lb. each, then press a deep indentation into the center of the ball, creating a bowl. Place a heaping tablespoon of shredded cheese into the indention, then pull the edges together to seal the beef over the cheese. Press down gently with your hand to flatten out the patties. Generously salt and pepper each patty.
• Prepare a grill at high heat, brush the grate down with oil and grill each burger for 3 minutes on one side before flipping, then another 3 minutes for medium rare, and around 6-8 minutes for well done.
• Top each burger with a slice of cheese before removing from the grill, then place on a bun layered with ranch dressing and tomato, top with the citrus slaw and top bun and enjoy!

CLASSIC BURGERS WITH CHEESE, CHIPOTLE KETCHUP, HORSERADISH MUSTARD AND RUSSIAN DRESSING SLAW

Steps:

• For the slaw: Whisk together the ketchup, mayonnaise, vinegar, celery seeds, paprika and some salt and pepper.
• Put the cabbage, carrot, green onions and Spanish onions in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper, toss to combine. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss again. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 8 hours.
• For the ketchup: Whisk together the ketchup and chipotles in a small bowl.
• For the mustard: In another small bowl, whisk together the mustard and horseradish.
• For the burgers: Heat a gas or charcoal grill to high. Form the ground beef into four 3/4-inch-thick patties by tossing the meat from hand to hand and flattening gently. Make a well in the center of each patty with your thumb. Brush the patties with oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
• Grill the burgers until slightly charred and crusty, about 3 minutes (5 minutes for turkey, which must be cooked through to serve). Flip and continue grilling until slightly charred and crusty on the other side, 4 to 5 minutes longer for medium doneness (another 5 minutes for turkey). During the last minute of cooking, top each burger with two slices of cheese; cover the grill and cook until the cheese has melted.
• Transfer the burgers to a platter. If desired, toast the buns on the grill, flat-side down, for about 15 seconds, or until golden. Place the burgers on the bun bottoms. Top with some chipotle ketchup, horseradish mustard, Russian slaw dressing and a few potato chips, if using. Set the bun tops on top and serve immediately.

• The next day, make the ranch slaw. Tip the cabbage, onion, celery, mayonnaise, soured cream, vinegar and chives into a medium bowl, then season to taste and mix until everything is well-combined.
• Light the barbecue. When the coals are ashen, put the chicken on the grill and cook for 8 mins on each side, basting with the leftover marinade as you go. Alternatively, cook the chicken under a hot grill for 8-10 mins on each side, basting with the marinade. When the chicken is cooked through, put half a slice of cheese on each piece and leave to melt for 1 min. Put two chicken thighs on the base of each bun, spoon over some slaw and sandwich with the bun tops.
