CALIFORNIA AVOCADO BURGER
Ingredients:
1 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. pepper
2 lbs. lean ground beef
1 1/2 ripe, Fresh California Avocados*
As needed Lettuce leaves as needed
2 onions, sliced
2 tomatoes, sliced
6 sesame seed burger buns
Instructions:
-Combine Worcestershire, salt and pepper and ground beef.
-Shape into patties. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
-Broil, grill or pan fry to desired doneness.
-While burger patties are cooking, seed, peel and mash the avocado.
-Serve each patty on bun with lettuce, sliced tomatoes and onion.
-Top each burger patty with mashed ripe Fresh California Avocado.
Serving Suggestions:
-Try using baby spinach or baby arugula in place of the lettuce leaves for a delicious difference. Seasonally available heirloom tomatoes and sweet or red onions give burgers a garden-fresh flavor and pair beautifully with Fresh California Avocados.
*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
