4 great ways to reinvent the burger

Do you think of bugers as just another hum-drum meal? Think again! With a dash of creativity and fun ingredients, you can prepare a real flavour explosion. Here are a few easy ideas that will have your taste buds and guests asking for more!

Beef-parmesan decadence

Beef burgers never disappoint at a BBQ. This summer, we’re reinventing the classic by adding a decadent touch that will make your friends say “wow.”

How?
Replace the usual slice of cheese with creamy melted parmesan cooked in a packet with a sprig of thyme. Or for a smokier taste, it can be cooked over the grill on a folded sheet of aluminum foil. Serve on Irresistibles mammoth hamburger buns with sesame seeds.

Little extra

Sliced Paris mushrooms marinated in olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic for 30 minutes and then grilled to perfection.

Beef, pork and veal triple whammy

The secret to this burger’s unforgettable taste is a delicious combination of ground beef, pork and veal topped with a very special surpise.

How?
Enhance the flavour of your three-meat patty with a slice of melty blue cheese. Serve on a seasoned bun. Amazing!

Little extra

Thinly sliced Quebec apples will add a sweet contrast to the blue cheese.

Gourmet chicken

Tasty ground chicken burgers are popular with kids, grown-ups and everyone in between at family gatherings. And they’re even better with a little spice!

How?
This combination is always a crowd pleaser: grilled ground chicken patty, Irresistibles Life Smart sliced Havarti cheese and sweet pickles. Serve on a plain bun. Heavenly!

Little extra

Add some kick with slices of marinated hot peppers. For a softer approach, opt for grilled bell peppers.

Brisset Beer Company’s Broken7 Pale Ale

Pesto salmon

Calling all mariners for a scrumptious seasoned salmon burger. Simple, healthy and flavourful—what more could you ask for on a hot summer’s day?

How?
Start with Irresistibles flat bread and add a salmon patty prepared by your Metro fish department. In a bowl, combine a dollop of mayonnaise, a spoonful of pesto and a sprinkling of lemon juice. Spread this combination on your fish. Crunchy cucumber slices are the final touch.
