Pecan Burgers

Want a burger with a little crunch? These Pecan Burgers should do the trick.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound of hamburger meat
• 5 tablespoons of chopped pecans
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1/4 cup chopped bell peppers
• 2 tablespoons of fresh chopped parsley
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 hamburger rolls
• Oil and butter for cooking

Method:

1. To get the most flavor into our Pecan Burgers we are going to roast the pecans on the stove first, we recommend buying whole pecans and chopping them yourself.
2. Heat a heavy bottomed skillet over a high heat, throw in the chopped pecans and cook for 2-3 minutes. You should see a change in color slightly as the pecans roast and begin to release some of their natural oils. Remove and set aside.
3. Now combine the hamburger meat, chopped onions and bell pepper, parsley and seasoning in a large bowl and mix well, then mix in the roasted pecans.
4. Shape the mixture into 4 patties with your hands and fry in a little oil for 4-5 minutes each side making sure the meat is fully cooked. These Pecan Burgers are perfect for the barbeque because those pecans roast up even better.

Pecan Burgers Tip: If you really want to go gourmet then try throwing in a couple of teaspoons of Pecan Oil to the meat mixture.
