Cilantro Burger with Spicy Mayo & Jalapeño-Lime Zucchini SautéCilantro Burger with Spicy Mayo & Jalapeño-Lime Zucchini Sauté — a 40-minute dinner recipe with 14 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

3 small bunches cilantro

3 cloves garlic

3 jalapeño peppers

1.02 kg lean ground beef

1 ½ limes

1 ½ bunches radish

1 ½ medium red onions

6 whole grain buns or rolls

6 medium zucchini squash

black pepper

chili-garlic sauce

extra virgin olive oil

mayonnaise

salt

Instructions

Wash and dry the fresh produce.

Shave cilantro leaves off the stems; discard stems. Place half of the leaves in a small bowl and set aside for serving; mince remaining leaves and place in a large bowl.

Add beef, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the minced cilantro; mix with your hands until well combined. Form the beef mixture into 6 equal-sized patties, place on a plate, and set aside.

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

While the skillet heats up, place mayo and chili-garlic sauce in another small bowl; stir to combine the spicy mayo and set aside.

Once the skillet is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Working in batches if necessary, add patties and cook, undisturbed, for 5 minutes; flip and cook an additional 2-3 minutes until cooked through. Once done, transfer to a clean plate and cover with foil. (Reserve skillet for later use.)

Meanwhile, trim and halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut crosswise into ¼-inch thick half-moons. Place in another large bowl.

Quarter jalapeño peppers lengthwise; seed and remove ribs with a spoon. Small dice and add to the bowl with the zucchini; set aside. (Be careful with jalapeños; do not touch your eyes and ensure you wash your hands after handling or wear gloves while preparing.)

Peel, halve, and thinly slice onions. Peel and mince garlic.

Return the skillet to medium-high heat, add more oil, and swirl to coat the bottom. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.

Add zucchini, jalapeño, water, salt, and pepper to the skillet; continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are fork-tender, about 5 minutes more.

Meanwhile, trim and thinly slice radishes.

When the veggies are done, juice limes into the skillet, stir to combine, and remove from heat.

Toast buns if desired.

Place bottom half of each bun on a plate; spread with spicy mayo, then layer with burger patties, radish, and reserved cilantro leaves. Close with the top half of each bun and serve with sautéed veggies on the side. Enjoy!
