EASY THAI BURGERS WITH PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (can probably use an oven broiler or skillet to pan fry the burgers).
• For the burgers, add the ground meat, ginger, green onions, chili garlic sauce, salt and pepper to a food processor and pulse until combined. Alternate method: use an electric stand or handheld mixer OR make sure the green onions and ginger are very finely chopped and combine very well with your hands. Shape the meat mixture into 5-6 patties about 1/2-inch thick and slightly larger in diameter than the buns you are using (they'll shrink a bit while cooking).
• For the peanut sauce, whisk or blend all the ingredients together. The sauce can be made several days in advance and refrigerated.
• For the slaw, in a medium bowl, toss together the carrots, cabbage and green onion. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice (or vinegar), oil, sugar and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss the vegetables with the dressing and set aside until serving. The slaw can be made several hours (or up to a day) in advance.
• Grill/cook the burgers until desired doneness (if using ground pork or ground turkey, cook until well done). Assemble the burgers on buns topped with peanut sauce and slaw.

THAI BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat grill for high heat.
• In a large bowl, mix together ground round, bread crumbs, lemon grass, shallot, chili peppers, and peanuts. Season with salt and pepper. Form into patties. If you are making these ahead of time, do not add peanuts until you are ready to grill.
• Lightly oil grate, and place burgers on grill. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove from grill, and sprinkle burgers with lime juice.

THAI CARROT BURGERS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Warm 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat in a large sauté pan that has a lid. When hot, add the scallions and cook just until they begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, and serrano pepper and stir for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Stir in the carrots, salt, coriander, turmeric, and cinnamon. Cover and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until the carrots are soft but not mushy.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites, peanut butter, and lime juice. Stir in the carrot mixture and the cilantro. Fold in the bread crumbs. Let sit for about 10 minutes to allow the crumbs to absorb some liquid. Adjust seasonings. Shape into 4 patties.
• In an oven-safe skillet or nonstick sauté pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. When hot, add the patties and brown 2 or 3 minutes on each side. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the burgers are firm and cooked through.
