Septembers Seasonal Recipe

     Septembers seasonal recipe was created with the realization that grilling season is almost ending...and winter is around the corner. With Summer winding down, avocados nearing the end of their growing season and the kids back in school, let's not forget there is still a few weeks left for grilling and out door entertaining.
Spicy Grilled Avocado Burger
 serves 4
Ingredients: 
1 lb - ground beef, 80/20
4 slices - pepperjack cheese
2 small - avocados
2 - roma tomatoes
1/2 tsp - salt
1/4 tsp - black pepper
1/4 tsp - ground cumin
1/8 tsp - red pepper flake
1/8 tsp - smoked paprika
4 - buns
To taste - salt and black pepper
As needed - mayonnaise


Directions:

1.  Add Pastamore Barrel-Aged Balsamic Vinegar, Pastamore Barrel-Aged Worcestershire, and spices to a large mixing bowl and mix ingredients. Next, add the ground beef and use hands to mix ingredients together.  Form into four even sized patties.

2.  Heat grill to medium-high heat.  While the grill is heating, rinse tomatoes and slice into 8 total slices. Toss with Pastamore Fresh Jalapeno Oil and season with salt and black pepper. Cut the avocados into quarters from top to bottom, peeling off the skin and throwing away the seed.  

3.  Place the patties onto the grill.  Turn once turning cooking, and add the cheese to the burgers when they are near the desired doneness.  Place the avocado quarters onto the grill, turning once with tongs keeping them as together as possible.  Lightly season with salt.

4.  Plate the bottom bun and top with a smear of mayonnaise.  Next, add the burger and top with the tomato slices.  Finish with the grilled avocado and the top bun.
