Description

Chef Rob Ray of Belly Acres in Memphis created this recipe as part of the Blended Burger Project™, a partnership with the James Beard Foundation that invites chefs to create delicious, nutritious, and sustainable burgers by blending mushrooms with meat. For his burger, Ray combines button mushrooms with beef for a juicy patty, and tops it with a zesty Ginger-Lime Mayonnaise and pickled summer squash, but feel free to top them with your own preferred pickles.

Ingredients

3/4 cup Duke’s brand mayonnaise
2 1/4 teaspoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon minced ginger
2 1/4 teaspoons honey
2 tablespoons lime juice
Pinch red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon olive oil
9 1/2 ounces chopped button mushrooms
1 ground pound beef
Salt and pepper
4 hamburger buns
Lettuce and pickles, for serving

Directions

  1. Combine all of the ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Whisk until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Strain the mushrooms and let cool.
  3. Place the cooked mushrooms, beef, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Mix to combine. Form the beef mixture into 4 patties of equal size.
  4. Heat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Cook the burger patties to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium.
  5. Sandwich each patty with lettuce and pickles between a bun and serve with Ginger-Lime Mayonnaise on the side.
