Calabrian Chili Burger

The Calabrian Chili Burger is a fiery and flavorful Italian-inspired burger that combines juicy Halal beef with a spicy Calabrian chili sauce, topped with fresh arugula and creamy burrata. This dish brings a delightful fusion of heat and creaminess, perfect for spice lovers.

Ingredients

• Halal ground beef - 400 grams
• Calabrian chili paste - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Burger buns - 2 pieces
• Burrata cheese - 100 grams
• Arugula - 50 grams
• Extra virgin olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Lemon juice - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the ground beef, Calabrian chili paste, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
2. Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties.
3. Preheat a grill or frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the burgers for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
4. While the burgers cook, prepare the burger buns by brushing them lightly with olive oil and toasting them on the grill or in a pan until golden brown.
5. Once the burgers are cooked, place a generous portion of burrata cheese on top of each patty and let it melt slightly.
6. Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a toasted bun, adding a handful of arugula, and drizzling with lemon juice.
7. Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
