Best Cumin Corn Burgers Recipes

CHIPOTLE CORN BURGER

Steps:

• Toss corn kernels and sliced bell pepper with lemon juice, olive oil and salt. Lightly mix 6 ounces ground beef chuck with a big pinch of kosher salt. Form into a ball, then shape into a 3/4-inch-thick patty; make an indentation in the center. Preheat a grill to high; brush the grates and burger with canola oil. Season the patty with salt and cumin and grill about 4 minutes per side.
• Mix 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon minced chipotles in adobo and a splash of lemon juice. Serve the burgers on a crusty bun with chipotle mayonnaise, the corn salsa, onion, tomato and cilantro.

BARBECUE CUMIN BURGERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients until well blended.
• Using lightly floured hands divide the mixture into 4 and form each quarter into a ball.
• Turn each ball onto a floured surface and press down with the palm of your hand to form burgers.
• Cook over hot coals for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.

CORN ON THE COB WITH CUMIN BUTTER

Steps:

• Shuck corn. Bring enough water to boil in large covered pot to cover corn. Add salt, if desired. When water boils, add corn and cook, covered, about 5 minutes. Drain and serve with cumin butter.
• To make cumin butter, melt butter and stir in cumin; let stand about 5 minutes. To serve, roll corn in cumin butter, or use pastry brush to paint corn with butter.

CREAMY CORN WITH CUMIN SOUP

Steps:

• Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large, deep saute pan until shimmering.
• Add frozen corn, then onion; saute, stirring very little at first, then more frequently, until vegetables start to turn golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low and add butter, sugar and garlic; continue cooking until all vegetables are a rich spotty caramel color, about 10 minutes longer.
• Add cumin and cayenne pepper; continue to saute until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute longer.
• Add broth; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
• Using an immersion blender or traditional blender, puree (adding fresh cilantro) until very smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. (If using a traditional blender, vent it either by removing the lid's pop-out center or by lifting one edge of the lid. Drape the blender canister with a kitchen towel. To 'clean' the canister, pour in a little half-and-half, blend briefly, then add to the soup.) Strain through a colander (the corn kernels don't puree).
• Return to pan (or a soup pot); add enough half-and-half so the mixture is souplike, yet thick enough to float garnish. Taste, and add salt and pepper if needed. Heat through, ladle into bowls, garnish and serve.

SOUTHWEST TURKEY BURGERS WITH CORN SALSA

Steps:

• Oil grill rack. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Combine turkey, crushed chips, 4 tablespoons cilantro, chili powder, salt, cumin, and pepper in large bowl. Using fork, mix together. Form 6 patties, each about 3 1/2 inches in diameter.
• Mix together salsa, corn, and remaining 2 tablespoons cilantro in small bowl. Set aside. Grill burgers until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Divide among plates. Spoon salsa over burgers and serve.

BLACK BEAN-CORN BURGER

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine beans, corn, bell pepper, breadcrumbs, cilantro, egg whites, chipotle, oregano and cumin. Form bean mixture into four 3/4-inch-thick patties. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Cook patties, turning once, until browned, 5 minutes per side; remove from pan. In same skillet, sauté spinach in remaining 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high heat until wilted, 3 minutes; season with nutmeg and salt and freshly ground black pepper. In another bowl, mix avocado with sour cream and juice. Place 1/4 of cooked spinach on bottom of each bun, then 1 burger and 1/4 avocado mixture. Top with other bun half.
