We have our burgers without buns - because we can't get buns but also because we prefer to have a more substantial side dish.... Like this rice and spinach.
Spicy Barbecued Burgers Preparation and cooking time: 20 minutes12oz (350gr) ground beef
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
4oz (125gr) chopped green chiles (or jalapeños' if you prefer)
2 tbs ketchup, divided
1 tbs Worcestershire sauce
Put beef, chili powder, garlic powder, chilies and 1 tbs ketchup into a large bowl and mix well. Shape into 3 - 4 patties. Cook on barbecue grill for 4 - 8 minutes per side, or until done to your liking.
Mix 1 tbs ketchup and Worcestershire sauce. After you turn the burgers, baste with ketchup sauce. Serve.
Or sauté in a nonstick skillet for the same amount of time, depending on how you like them done.
1/2 cup quick cooking brown rice
1 cup chicken stock or whatever your rice calls for
3oz (90gr) spinach
1/3 cup (2oz, 60gr) cherry tomatoes
1/2 green or red bell pepper
1 small onion
2 tsp olive oil
2 tbs sherry vinegar
1 tbs good olive oil
Cook rice in chicken stock.
Pick through spinach, discarding any damaged leaves. Wash and spin dry with salad spinner. Put spinach into a large bowl and set aside. Cut cherry tomatoes in half.
Slice pepper and onion. Heat 2 tsp olive oil in a medium skillet. Add onion and sauté until starting to brown. Add pepper and sauté until tender and onions are nicely browned. Add vinegar, salad olive oil, cooked rice and stir to combine. Put rice mixture on top of spinach and stir well. The heat will wilt the spinach very slightly. Add the tomatoes, stir gently and serve.
