Tonight was an experiment that didn’t quite go as planned. The burgers were fine but we need to work on our grilled/fried plantain chips. There was a bit of carbon on display but we learned that you can make plantain chips on the grill, they just take a lot less time than we thought. For the burgers:
- 1 lb ground bison
- 1 egg
- chives (from the garden already)
- salt
- smoked mozzarella
Bison is a really lean meat so we think it needs an egg to make a good burger. Just mix the first 4 ingredients together and make about 5 patties (right now we are smash burger people). Grill about 3-4 minutes per side topping with sliced smoked mozzarella. Tonight we serve them with:
- lettuce
- tomato
- parsley (from the garden already)
- alfalfa sprouts
- mayo
- Sriracha
- ketchup
For the plantain chips, we sliced 2 very ripe plantains and made foil packets with the plantains and canola oil. They only take about 10ish minutes flipping every few (not the 20 that I thought they would). Glad my wife checked or we would have had pure carbon.
