Nutritional InformationTo Prepare Pickled Red Onions:
Place vinegar, water, and sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil to make the pickling liquid. Note: When making small batches, boil water in a kettle. Combine boiling water with vinegar and sugar. Stir until sugar dissolves. Place onions in a stainless steel mixing bowl or a mason jar. Pour hot pickling liquid over onions, ensuring that onions are well coated. Cover and place in the refrigerator overnight to marinate. Drain and discard excess marinade when ready to serve.
To Prepare Honey Sriracha Spread:
In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients. Mix well. Cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
To Prepare Breaded Goat Cheese:
Cut goat cheese into 1-ounce circles. Gently press them down. Gently coat the cheese with flour on both sides. Dip cheese in egg and coat both sides with egg. Gently press panko onto the cheese, coat evenly, and seal the cheese in panko. Repeat steps three and four with a second coat of egg wash and panko. Place breaded goat cheese into a preheated 350 degree Fahrenheit deep fryer. Cook until golden brown. Remove and drain well. Note: Discard any leftover flour, egg and panko once finished breading goat cheese.
To Prepare Crispy Garlic Potato Wedges:
Spray a parchment-lined sheet tray with non-stick cooking spray. Combine potato wedges, oil, and 1 Tablespoon finely chopped garlic. Toss to coat evenly. Arrange wedges, skin side down, in a single layer on the tray. Do not overcrowd. Roast in a preheated 425 degree Fahrenheit oven for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from heat. Combine lemon zest, parsley, ½ Tablespoon finely chopped garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Sprinkle over potatoes while still on the sheet tray. Divide into four portions. Serve warm.
To Prepare Crispy Goat-Cheese Burger:
Combine Montreal steak seasoning, seasoned salt, granulated garlic and onion, ground beef, and iced water in a mixing bowl until well blended. Divide mixture into four equal size balls. By hand or using a patty press, shape each portion into a 4 ½- inch diameter patty. Cook patties on a grill or grill pan until juices run clear. Spread 1/2 Tablespoon butter on the bottom and top of each brioche bun and toast until lightly golden. Spread 1 Tablespoon honey sriracha on the bottom of each bun. In order, top the bottom of the bun with:
– 1 cooked burger patty
– 2 Tablespoons pickled onions
– 1 piece of breaded goat cheese.
Close burger with the top of the bun. Place the burger on a serving plate with one portion of potato wedges on the side. Enjoy immediately!
