#burgermonth: Mushroom Cheddar Burger

By
When friends had to cancel our beach cookout this weekend, I had extra meat for burgers this week. My boys never complain about grilled burgers. Instead of making more Bulgogi-Spiced Burgers with Mango Mustard Kimchi, which was my post for #burgermonth, I went for a plainer - but still delicious - burger. Think of it as a #burgermonth bonus!


Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef (we choose organic + grassfed)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 C shredded cheddar cheese
  • freshly ground salt
  • freshly ground pepper
  • 1 T minced garlic
  • 2 C sliced crimini mushrooms
  • pat of butter
  • buns
  • sliced cheese (I had some provolone)
  • lettuce
  • tomatoes, sliced


Procedure
About an hour before you plan on grilling, mix the first six ingredients together in a mixing bowl until well combined. Divide into 4 pieces and press into patties. Season with more salt and pepper. Let stand for at least 30 minutes, or an hour if you can.

Prepare grill. While the burgers are grilling, saute the mushrooms in a pat of butter until they are nicely browned and softened but still holding their shape. Serve the burgers with buns, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and other condiments, if desired. Our were delicious with just the mushrooms for added flavor! Enjoy.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
