2 pounds ground chicken
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning, a palm full
2 shallots, finely chopped
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
5 button mushrooms, stems removed, finely chopped
1/4 pound Havarti with dill cheese, cut into 1/4-inch dice*
Salt and pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling, plus a couple tablespoons
1 cup sour cream
3 to 4 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped or snipped with kitchen scissors
3 to 4 tablespoons capers, drained - run your knife through them once
1 seedless cucumber, cut in 1/2 lengthwise, then sliced into half moons
1 small red onion, peeled and sliced
3 plum tomatoes, seeded then thinly sliced
1 pound sack washed baby spinach
2 to 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
4 crusty poppy seed rolls or other burger buns of choice
2 large radishes, thinly sliced
1 sack gourmet potato chips, such as Terra Chips Onion and Herb Yukon Gold or Blue Potato chips

Steps:

  • Combine ground chicken, poultry seasoning, chopped shallots, Dijon mustard, chopped mushroom, diced Havarti, salt and pepper, and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. Mix thoroughly. Score the meat with your hand marking 4 equal portions. Form each portion into large 1-inch thick patties.
  • Preheat a non stick skillet over medium-high heat. Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil over the patties and place them in the hot skillet. Cook 6 minutes per side until the patties are firm to the touch and cooked through.
  • While the burgers are cooking prepare the herb caper sauce and mod salad. In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, chopped dill and capers then season with salt and pepper.
  • In a salad bowl combine the cucumbers, half of the red onion, plum tomatoes and 3/4 sack of baby spinach. Dress the salad with white wine vinegar, salt and pepper then drizzle with a couple tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil to coat the salad lightly and evenly. Toss to combine and adjust salt and pepper, to your taste.
  • Split the rolls or buns. Place the burgers on the bun bottoms. Top with sliced radishes, baby spinach and a heaping spoonful of herb-caper dressing slathered across the bun tops. Add remaining sauce into the salad and combine to give your salad a creamy finish. Fancy chips finish the plate.
  • * TIDBIT
  • The colder the semi-soft Havarti with dill cheese is the easier it will be to dice it. Pop the cheese in the freezer while you prep everything else. Because of the fat content of the cheese, just 10 minutes in a deep freeze makes the dicing a real breeze!

PAN-FRIED EGGPLANT WITH ONION, CAPER AND HERB SAUCE



Pan-Fried Eggplant With Onion, Caper and Herb Sauce image

We're growing white eggplants in our garden this year, which they say are supposed to be a bit sweeter than purple. This recipe came off another site then was tweaked just a bit. The first time I made it I left out the capers and used dried parsley and basil and it was still delicious. The topping is also good on fried fish.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 medium eggplants (white or purple)
1 -2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons capers
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic

Steps:

  • Peel eggplants and slice into 3/4 inch slices. Sprinkle both sides with salt, and let sit about 20 minutes to draw out the water. Blot both sides with paper towel.
  • Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook eggplant about 4-5 minutes on each side, until cooked through and browned. Remove eggplant to serving dish.
  • While eggplant is cooking, combine capers, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, parsley, basil and 1 tbsp olive oil. For a finely chopped sauce, you can pulse this mixture in a food processor, otherwise can leave as is (if not using capers, leave as is).
  • Add last tbsp olive oil to pan, heat about 30 seconds, then add red onion and saute 2-3 minutes. Add minced garlic and saute another minute. Add caper mixture and heat through for about a minute.
  • Pour sauce over eggplant and serve immediately.

2 pounds ground chicken
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning (a palmful)
2 shallots, finely chopped
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
5 button mushrooms, stems discarded, finely chopped
1/4 pound Havarti with dill cheese, cut into 1/4-inch dice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO), for drizzling, plus a couple tablespoons for the salad
1/2 cup mayonnaise or sour cream
2 to 3 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped or snipped with kitchen scissors
2 tablespoons capers, drained, then run your knife through them once
1 English (seedless) cucumber (the one wrapped in plastic), cut in half lengthwise, then sliced into half-moons
1 small red onion, sliced
3 plum tomatoes, seeded and thinly sliced
1-pound sack of washed baby spinach
2 to 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
4 crusty poppyseed rolls
2 large radishes, thinly sliced
1 sack of gourmet potato chips, such as Terra Chips Onion and Herb Yukon Gold, or Blue Potato Chips

Steps:

  • In a bowl, thoroughly combine the ground chicken, poultry seasoning, shallots, Dijon mustard, mushrooms, Havarti, salt, and pepper. Score the meat with your hand into 4 equal portions. Form each portion into a large 1-inch-thick patty.
  • Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Drizzle EVOO over the patties and place them in the hot skillet. Cook for 6 minutes per side until the patties are firm to the touch and cooked through.
  • While the burgers are cooking prepare the herb caper sauce and mod salad. In a small bowl combine the mayonnaise or sour cream, dill, and capers. Set aside. In a salad bowl combine the cucumbers, red onion, plum tomatoes, and three quarters of the baby spinach. Dress the salad with white wine vinegar, salt, and pepper, then drizzle with a couple tablespoons of EVOO to coat the salad lightly and evenly. Toss to combine and adjust the salt and pepper to your taste.
  • Split the rolls. Place the burgers on the bun bottoms. Top with sliced radishes, the remaining baby spinach, and a heaping spoonful of the herb-caper dressing slathered across the bun tops. Add the remaining sauce to the salad and toss for a creamy finish. Fancy chips finish the plate.
  • The colder the semisoft Havarti with dill cheese is, the easier it will be to dice. Pop the cheese in the freezer while you prep everything else. Because of the fat content of the cheese, just 10 minutes in a deep freeze makes the dicing a real breeze!
