5 Summer Burger Recipes, Revisited

To level up your next backyard barbecue, here are five ways to enhance your ordinary burger. Break away from the usual processed orange cheese slice and the standard ketchup-mustard-relish toppings by cooking these patties with a personality and unique and distinct flavours.

1. Moroccan-Style Burgers

THE VACATIONER

This burger will feed your wanderlust thanks to its flavours that are reminiscent of a Moroccan tagine. Seasoned with cumin and turmeric, the patties are then topped with harissa mayonnaise, grilled zucchini and onions, as well as a generous helping of fresh mint. It’s in a class of its own.

 

Freshness and indulgence are on board this tender and spicy patty.

2. Herb and Parmesan Burgers

THE RADIANT ONE

This mouth-watering sandwich gives off serious Mediterranean vibes. Use a good quantity of herbs as well as a fresh tomato condiment that easily replaces your usual mayonnaise. This delicate burger will bring a touch of freshness to your plate. Perfect marks all around!

 

Green abounds in this patty where the beef is mixed with fresh chives and parsley.

3. Steak Spice Burgers

THE NOSTALGIST

Transform your grill into a veritable delicatessen for a smoked meat-inspired burger. Authentic and fuss-free, it combines coleslaw, yellow mustard, sliced dill pickles and a beef patty seasoned with steak spice. This retro nod to the famous Montreal dish will be a success every time.

 

This patty stands out from the crowd thanks to the use of Montreal steak spice. For when you’re craving a classic.

4. Salmon Burgers with Barbecue Sauce and Roasted Bell Peppers

THE MARINER

This fresh salmon patty gets quite the flavourful boost thanks to grilled peppers, barbecue sauce, lemon and breadcrumbs that help bind all the ingredients together. Simple toppings, such as arugula and grilled red peppers, suffice to enhance these summery burgers. Here at RICARDO, we love them so much that we even have ready-to-cook versions available for purchase at IGA stores across Quebec.

 

We’re fishing for flavour by using grilled peppers twice in this recipe, both in the patty and as a topping.

5. Cheese Curd and Bacon Burgers

THE COPIOUS ONE

Can’t make up your mind between using bacon slices, ketchup chips or cheese curds? Combine them all in this loaded gourmet burger that’s so delicious and satisfying, it doesn’t even require a side dish.

 

Pairing cheese curds with bacon on a burger truly goes above and beyond.
