Enjoy a Backyard BBQ: Bison Feta Burgers
The weekend is finally here! We at Bridal Fantasy are definitely ready for a backyard BBQ. Here is a delicious recipe from Gail Hall’s Seasoned Solutions website for mouthwatering Bison Feta Burgers that we wanted to share:
BISON FETA BURGERS
Yield: 4 burgers
1 lb - Ground Bison*
1 - Large Egg
1/4 cup - Fresh Breadcrumbs
1 tbsp - Chopped Fresh Herbs**
1/4 cup - Chopped Onion
1/2 tsp - Sea Salt
1/4 tsp - Freshly Ground Pepper
4 tbsp - Feta Cheese
4 - Crusty Buns***
2 tbsp - Mayonnaise
2 tbsp - Mustard (your favourite)
4 - Thick Slices Tomato****
Your favourite greens (sprouts, lettuce, arugula, etc.)
In a bowl, combine the ground bison, egg, fresh bread crumbs, chopped herbs, onion, salt and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate for an hour before forming into 4 burgers. Form into 4 burgers. Into the centre of each, stuff a piece of feta and cover/seal with burger. Flatten into 4 round burgers. To cook, either barbecue outside or fry indoors. To barbecue, heat up barbecue and grill on medium high, turning only once, for 6 to 8 minutes, until centre is no longer pink. To fry, use a heavy skillet and heat 2 tbsp of olive oil on medium high. Add burgers and sauté on each side for several minutes (turning only once). Turn down heat and continue to sauté until centre is no longer pink (about 8 to 10 minutes total frying time).
Grill or toast your hamburgers, and dress with mayonnaise, mustard, tomato and greens. Don’t forget to add the burger. Lot’s of napkins may be required.
*Ground Bison is 30% lower in cholesterol than ground beef.
**If you don’t have fresh herbs on hand, just substitute using 1/3 of dried herbs for fresh.
***I’ve used a crusty Ciabatta bun that I’ve toasted just before serving.
****Doef’s or Gulls are by far the best choice for tomatoes. Yes, they are more expensive, but when you consider they are locally grown and picked within days of appearing at the market, you know you are getting ripe and nutrient rich tomatoes, and after all, you are worth it!
