Green Chile Burger

edited November -1 in EggHead Forum
The other night we were watching some Tivo'd Bobby Flay programs and saw the one where he challenged a guy in New Mexico to a Throwdown on Green Chile Burgers.

We must have been very hungry because suddenly we wanted a green chile burger the way the guy from New Mexico did it.

so we got some poblano peppers and onions and sliced them up pretty thin. We had also picked up some pre-made Angus chuck patties on sale which I splinkled generously with DP Raising The Steaks. We were set.

The guy did his on a griddle so I got my Griddle Q and put it on Lily Large. Heated it up nicely to about 400° and put the meat on, then the onions and then the peppers which I had roasted a couple of days ago.

When done we just put the meat on the bun, added a slice of cheese, and piled on some pepper and onions. Nothing else.

We had our doubts but the results were surprisingly good. A little rich maybe but very tasty.

Here's the video just using the software in my Flip video camera. The only editing I could think to do was wipe the grin off my face.

    Spring,

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the guy in the competition was using roasted peppers and then reheated the chopped chili on the griddle.

    There is another variation that I learned, also from Flay. Roast some onions and poblano/hatch, peel the skin off the hatch, toss the onions, chilis, a roasted or raw garlic, some oil and a little honey into a blender or food processor, then you've got a "green chili" pesto of sorts to put on the burger.

    Leroy,
    Very, very nice. It's not fair you can't get decent poblanos in the north.

    As I said in the post, I had roasted the peppers a couple of days before. All we had to do was toss 'em on the griddle with the onions. I think slicing was enough to get them ready to put on top of the meat. No need for messing up a food processor. The honey sounds interesting but it wasn't used in the show, nor was roasted garlic. Just garlic out of a bottle.

    I also used olive oil in the griddle. Probably should have used Pam. Too oily.

    I think it turned out close enough to meet our needs. Any more would have been over-kill. We just wanted to try it to see if we could duplicate what he did. Now we revert back to our regular hamburgers.

    It was, wasn't it... It was one of the tunes in the Flip solftware. I could have left the music out or turned the volume down.

    Well Steve, you can always move to Texas. If it don't cool down pretty soon we might even entertain an offer on the Chicken Ranch.

    Leroy,

    We have had two days above 90* this year. Wanna trade? Is that Dave DeWitt's?
