Bison Burgers With Spicy Aioli Recipes

Steps:

• Halve and pit the avocado, then scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add the lime juice, cilantro, 1/4 teaspoon cumin and a big pinch of salt. Mash and stir until well combined; set aside.
• Combine the bison, chipotles, remaining 3/4 teaspoon cumin, the oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl; mix well. Form into 4 patties, about 4 1/2 inches wide and 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side for medium, putting 1 cheese slice on each burger during the last minute of cooking.
• Serve the burgers on the buns with ketchup, the avocado mixture, shredded lettuce, sliced onion and cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips and the lime wedges.

Steps:

• For the burgers: Heat the coconut oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium heat. Cook the onions and garlic, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and cool for 5 minutes.
• Add the bison, tomato paste, cumin, salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper to the onion mixture, and stir to combine. Form into four 1-inch-thick burgers. Place the skillet back over high heat, add the burgers and cook until an instant read thermometer registers 160 degrees F, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and rest the burgers for 3 to 5 minutes.
• For the aioli: In a small bowl whisk together the mustard, tomato paste, yolk and garlic. While whisking continually, slowly drizzle in the canola and olive oils, until all the oil is incorporated and the mixture is thick and glossy. Whisk in the lemon juice and season with cayenne pepper and salt.
• Place each patty in a lettuce leaf, then top with tomato slices, shaved red onion and 2 teaspoons of the spicy aioli; wrap the burgers in the lettuce and serve with kale chips.
• Cook's Notes: If you have concerns about salmonella, replace the egg yolk and oils with canola mayonnaise.

Steps:

• Soak the halibut in the buttermilk for several minutes, then remove and dredge in the flour. Whisk together the buttermilk and egg in a stainless-steel bowl. Dip the halibut into the liquid, and then remove and dredge in the breadcrumbs until coated. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Heat the canola oil in a straight-sided saucepot to 325 degrees F. Submerge the cheeks in the oil and fry until golden brown. Season with the cayenne and salt and serve with spicy mayonnaise for dipping.

Steps:

• First make the aioli sauce.
• Just add all the Aioli ingredients and whisk together.
• Chill for approximately 20 minutes.
• Then Lightly clean the Portobello mushrooms and remove the stems.
• Mix the Olive oil and Garlic and brush all over Mushrooms.
• Broil Mushrooms for 3-5 minutes with rib side down.
• Turn over and top with cheese.
• Broil an additional 3 minutes.
• Place on Hamburger bun and top with Aloe or anything you would prefer.
• Put on a bib as these burgers are extremely juicy.
• And enjoy.

Steps:

• Note on cooking time: you may be able to reduce the total amount of time spent cooking if you cook some items concurrently.
• Prepare aioli (you can do this ahead of time): place mayonnaise, cloves of garlic, fresh sage, olive oil, and fresh lemon juice in a small food processor or blender.
• Blend until smooth and creamy; set aside.
• Mix together ground meat, zucchini, beaten egg, sage, vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper.
• Form into 4 patties and refrigerate on waxed paper until time to cook.
• Peel sweet potatoes.
• Using a food processor or mandolin, shave potatoes on the thinnest setting (they should be about as thin as a potato chip).
• Heat oil to a depth of several inches in a large skillet or use a deep fryer.
• Cook sweet potato shavings in small batches until they are crisp (about halfway through cooking you may press them against the side of the fryer a little bit to reduce their flat shape).
• If you wish to bake your chips instead of frying them, place sweet potato shavings in a large plastic bag with several tablespoons of oil (just enough to coat) and shake bag gently until shavings are lightly covered with oil.
• Place shavings on an oiled baking sheet and bake at 350F for about 20 minutes, then turn chips and bake another 10 minutes or so or until crispy (watch them so they don't burn).
• Drain on paper toweling, and immediately season with salt and a sprinkling of cayenne pepper.
• Heat 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet.
• Cook onion slices over medium-low heat until caramelized; keep warm until needed.
• Grill patties over medium-hot coals (make sure to use a fine mesh grate and oil it thoroughly to reduce sticking) or cook in a large skillet or griddle for 7-8 minutes per side or until cooked through.
• Plate burgers on toasted kaiser rolls with sage aioli, grilled onions, and a few sweet potato chips (or may have chips on the side).
• Using cheese on your burgers is optional, but I would recommend a sharp cheddar if you go with that.
• Any extra aioli may be refrigerated and used as a dip for crudites, cooked vegetables, etc.

Steps:

• Aioli:
• Whisk egg yolk and mustard in a medium bowl to combine. Whisking constantly, gradually drizzle in oil, drop by drop at first; keep going until aioli is thickened and smooth. Whisk in chipotle, garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice; season with salt. Cover and chill.
• Do ahead
• Aioli can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
• Assembly:
• Preheat oven to 225°. Toss tomatoes, thyme, and 1 tablespoon oil on a baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Arrange tomatoes cut side down and roast until skin is slightly browned and beginning to separate from flesh, 75-85 minutes. Let cool, then slip off skins.
• While tomatoes are roasting, freeze bacon until almost frozen through, about 40 minutes (this will help it chop cleanly in the food processor). Pulse bacon in a food processor, scraping down sides of bowl as needed, until very finely chopped, about 1 minute.
• Transfer bacon to a medium bowl and gently mix in ground lamb, oregano, sage, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt just to combine. Divide meat into 4 equal portions and gently shape into 3/4"-thick patties.
• Heat a grill pan or a cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Cook patties until lightly charred and medium-rare, about 2 minutes per side. Generously spread buns with aioli and build burgers with patties, roasted tomatoes, and mozzarella.
• Toss arugula in another medium bowl with vinegar and remaining 2 teaspoons oil; season with salt and pepper.
• Serve burgers with arugula alongside.
