Grilled Caesar Burgers
Grilled Caesar Burgers
1 1/2 cups Parmesan cheese, freshly grated (reserving 1/2 cup for topping)
1/4 cup capers, lightly mashed
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 large leaves Romaine lettuce
Caesar Dressing (homemade is preferable) Recipe below.
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon anchovy paste
1 tablespoon lemon juice (1/2 lemon)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated black pepper
2 shots Tabasco sauce (to taste)
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, (preferably freshly grated)
Whisk all ingredients together until smooth.
** NOTE** There are delicious low carb burger rolls available online..On maintenance I would spread the roll with 1/2 tsp of olive oil spread mixed with a dusting of garlic powder, toast the buns on the grill, like I would for garlic bread...and serve the burger on the bun.
The toasted bun gives the "crouton" effect you get on a classic caesar salad.
Ingredients:
2 pounds ground chicken (or turkey)1 1/2 cups Parmesan cheese, freshly grated (reserving 1/2 cup for topping)
1/4 cup capers, lightly mashed
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Caesar Dressing (homemade is preferable) Recipe below.
Directions:
Prepare a grill to medium heat or heat broiler. Mix chicken, 1 cup of the cheese, capers and pepper until just-combined (do not overmix).
Form mixture into eight patties and grill until just cooked through, about 6 minutes per side.
Serve burger atop a large romaine leaf and top with caesar dressing and additional parmesan cheese.
