Massaman Burger

The Massaman Burger is a delightful fusion of traditional Thai flavors and classic burger elements, featuring a spiced beef patty infused with Massaman curry paste and topped with fresh herbs and crunchy vegetables. Served on a whole-grain bun, this healthy burger is both satisfying and nourishing.

Ingredients

• Ground beef (lean) - 250 grams
• Massaman curry paste - 2 tablespoons
• Coconut milk - 2 tablespoons
• Whole grain burger buns - 2
• Cucumber - 1 small, thinly sliced
• Red onion - 1 small, thinly sliced
• Fresh cilantro - ¼ cup, chopped
• Lettuce leaves - 2 large
• Lime - 1, cut into wedges

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the ground beef, Massaman curry paste, coconut milk, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties.
3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
