Treat your ingredients with care...
- Avocado — Choose ripe avocados that are slightly soft to the touch. To prevent browning, drizzle the avocado slices with lemon or lime juice.
- Beetroot — If using canned beetroot slices, make sure to drain them well before adding to the burger.
- Pineapple — Grilling the pineapple rings adds a delicious smoky flavor. If you don't have a grill, you can also use a grill pan or a regular skillet.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra kick of flavor, spread a layer of tangy tomato chutney or barbecue sauce on the burger buns before assembling.
- If you prefer a spicier burger, add a dash of hot sauce or chili flakes to the beef patty mixture.
- Customize your Kiwi Delight Burger by adding additional toppings such as crispy bacon or a fried egg.
- If you're vegetarian, you can substitute the beef patty with a plant-based burger patty and adjust the seasonings accordingly.
- To make the burger gluten-free, use gluten-free burger buns or wrap the ingredients in lettuce leaves instead.
Serving advice
Serve the Kiwi Delight Burgers with a side of crispy fries or a fresh green salad. They pair perfectly with a cold beer or a refreshing glass of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.
Presentation advice
To make the Kiwi Delight Burgers visually appealing, skewer them with a toothpick and garnish with a small pineapple wedge or a sprig of fresh herbs. Serve them on a wooden board or a platter lined with lettuce leaves for an inviting presentation.
