A healthier take on the classic burger! Make sure to use grass-fed beef.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh organic & grass-fed ground beef split into 4 patties

Burger spices

  • 1/2 tsp ground onion
  • 1/2 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp ground garlic
  • 1/2 tsp ground paprika
  • 1/4 tsp ground cayenne

Condiments + Toppings

  • 8 slices organic zucchini
  • 8 slices organic tomatoes
  • 4 slices organic cheddar cheese
  • 1/3 cup naturally fermented sauerkraut
  • 4 pickles
  • 1/4 cup organic ketchup
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup mustard
  • 4 wholegrain buns of your choice

Instructions

  1. Generously sprinkle all the spices on the 4 burger patties.
  2. Cook on BBQ until nicely roasted, or however you prefer your burger (but not charred!).
  3. Cook the zucchini slices on the BBQ for about 3-5 minutes each side.
  4. Add the cheese during the last few minutes of cooking so that the cheese melts over the burger patties.
  5. Toast the buns.
  6. Assemble your burgers, add a couple of slices of tomatoes and some sauerkraut on top, and serve with a pickle and homemade fries on the side. (Fries: Simply wash and cut potatoes, mix in a bowl with 2-3 Tbsp of olive oil, and bake at 425F for about 20-25 mins. Add a pinch of grey sea salt after they're cooked)
  7. Oh yum!
