Fried Green Tomato Burger

This Fried Green Tomato Burger combines the tangy crunch of fried green tomatoes with a juicy beef patty, all nestled in a gluten-free bun. It's a delightful twist on a classic American burger that promises a unique flavor experience.

Ingredients

• Ground beef - 300 grams
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Gluten-free burger buns - 2
• Green tomatoes - 2 medium, sliced
• Cornmeal - 1/2 cup
• Rice flour - 1/4 cup
• Egg - 1, beaten
• Cooking oil - for frying
• Lettuce - 2 leaves
• Sliced pickles - 4 slices
• Mayonnaise - 2 tablespoons
• Hot sauce - to taste

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Form into 2 patties.
2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the beef patties for 4-5 minutes on each side or until desired doneness.
3. While the patties are cooking, set up a breading station with one bowl for the beaten egg, another for the combined cornmeal and rice flour.
4. Dip each slice of green tomato in the egg, then dredge in the cornmeal mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.
5. In a separate pan, heat cooking oil over medium heat. Fry the breaded green tomato slices for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
6. To assemble the burgers, spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each gluten-free bun, place a lettuce leaf, then the cooked beef patty, followed by fried green tomatoes, pickles, and a drizzle of hot sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy your Fried Green Tomato Burger!
