Creole Burgers
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds ground chuck
- 1/3 cup thinly sliced scallions (about 3 scallions)
- 2 tablespoons Creole seasoning (such as Zatarain’s)
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1 teaspoon Creole mustard
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
- 1 medium-size red onion, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 brioche hamburger buns, lightly toasted
- 1 large romaine lettuce heart, sliced (about 1 cup)
Directions
-
Preheat a grill to medium (350°F to 400°F). Place ground chuck, scallions, Creole seasoning, and cayenne in a medium bowl. Using hands, gently combine. Shape mixture into 4 patties, and place on a plate. Clean bowl thoroughly. Stir together mayonnaise, parsley, mustard, hot sauce, and lemon juice in cleaned bowl; set aside.
-
Place patties on oiled grates. Grill, covered, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from grill; loosely cover patties with aluminum foil. Place onion slices on grates; brush with oil. Grill, covered, until slightly charred and tender, about 3 minutes per side.
-
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise mixture on bottom half of each bun. Top each with romaine lettuce, 1 patty, and grilled onions. Cover with bun tops; serve.
