The Perfect Burger

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Total Time 22 minutes
Servings: 3 servings
Calories: 700

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb (455 grams) ground beef
  • ¼ medium red onion, minced
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp granulated garlic
  • ½ tsp coarse sea salt
  • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 medium parsnips, peeled
  • ½ cup (100 grams) coconut oil, melted

Method
 

  1. Garnishes romaine hearts, leaves separated sliced red onions
  2. ¾ cup (180 ml) Avocado Mousse (see here) shoestring parsnip fries (from above) Process
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the burgers without overworking the meat.
  4. Divide the meat into 3 equal portions and form into patties ½ inch (12 mm) thick. Use your thumb to make an indentation in the center of each burger.
  5. Set aside.
  6. Using a spiral slicer or julienne slicer, cut the parsnips into strings.
  7. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, and preheat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
  8. Once the grill is hot, place the burgers on the grill grate and close the lid.
  9. Cook for 6 minutes, then flip the burgers and cook for 2 to 3 minutes for medium-rare, or to the desired doneness.
  10. While the burgers are cooking, add the coconut oil to the hot saucepan. Test the oil by placing a parsnip shoestring in the oil: if the oil bubbles furiously, it’s ready.
  11. Fry the parsnips in the oil for 1 to 2 minutes, until golden brown.
  12. Place the fried parsnips on a paper towel–lined plate to drain.
  13. When the burgers are done, remove them from the grill and let rest for 5 to 7 minutes.
  14. To assemble the burgers, place each patty on a bed of lettuce and top with sliced red onions, ¼ cup (60 ml) of the avocado mousse, and parsnip fries.
