Categories: Burgers

Ingredients

  • 1/2 seedless cucumber, peeled and finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp chopped cilantro
  • Kosher salt and ground pepper
  • 1 1/4 lbs ground beef
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1 garlic clove, finely grated
  • 1 1/2 tsp red or yellow curry powder
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 hamburger buns, split, toasted
  • Sweet potato chips, for serving
  • Pickled okra for serving

Directions

  1. Mix the cucumber, yogurt, cilantro, 1/4 tsp salt and pepper to taste in a bowl. Set aside while you make the burgers.

  2. Combine the beef, onion, garlic, curry powder, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper in a bowl and mix with your hands until just combined. Form into four 4-inch patties, about 1/2 inch thick.

  3. Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the burger patties, and cook, turning once, until cooked through, 7-8 minutes for medium.

  4. Place the burgers on the buns. Stir the cucumber-yogurt mixture and spoon on top. Serve the burgers with sweet potato chips and pickled okra.
