2015 world food championship burger contest winner
My teenagers have very sophisticated tastes in food. I'm always challenging myself to turn a family favorite into something memorable and unexpected. I enjoy making over recipes to expose another level of flavor in an otherwise ordinary dish. This spicy Vietnamese inspired burger is one of my families favorites!
To make the spread, mix together cream cheese, mayonnaise, lime juice, Sriracha sauce, rice wine vinegar, cayenne, and chopped cilantro in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate or set aside.
For the pickled cucumbers, slice the cucumbers on a mandolin slicer into a bowl. Combine sour cream, mayo, Sriracha, lime juice, rice wine vinegar, cilantro and salt. Pour over cucumbers, refrigerate until ready to serve
Start bacon in a cold frying pan over medium heat. Cook until crisp. Place cooked bacon in a stainless steel bowl. Drizzle 4 tbsp of bacon fat and the honey and Sriracha over the hot bacon. Toss to combine
For the burgers, gently combine meat with garlic, and salt and pepper. Form patty with minimal handling. Press a thumbprint in the center of each patty. Season again with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat oil in a frying pan over med-high heat. When the oil is glistening, carefully add patty. Cook 3-4 minutes (for medium) then flip and cook an additional 1-2 minutes. Top with a slice of Havarti cheese and allow to melt. Remove from pan and allow to rest briefly.
Toast brioche bun under a broiler of in a toaster oven. Very generously slather each side of the bun with the creamy Sriracha spread. Top the bottom bun with lettuce/cilantro/mint mixture, place pickled cucumbers next, then the burger, and then top the burger with the candied bacon. Set bun tops in place and serve immediately.
