Happy Up Your Hamburger
Burgers are perfect for a summer BBQ and equally delicious when prepared indoors, but best of all is that they’re so darn versatile! The humble beef, chicken, fish, or veggie burger is tasty on its own, but the little extras that go on top? Well, that’s where you get real burger perfection! So this Hamburger Day, why not change up the routine and go for gold with an amazing new burger combo that may just change the way you see (and eat!) burgers forever?
We get it. Your favourite burger is your favourite for a reason. But just because you’ve been topping your burgers the same way doesn’t mean that’s how you have to do it every time! Why not give one of these burger topping combinations a go and have a completely new (and perhaps even more delicious than the original!) burger experience this summer?
Mouth-Watering Beef Burgers
If beef makes up your burger of choice, try topping your next hamburger with beetroot or a fried egg, both classic Australian burger toppings for a reason -deliciousness! Burger connoisseurs around the world also swear by a light smear of peanut butter on your burger (although we personally think almond butter is the way to go)! A little Sriracha or Tabasco Sauce never does a burger any harm either, and we love the idea of taking the classic American pickled cucumber on a burger trend (is it just us or do Americans put pickles on everything?!) and swap it out for some mango pickle, garlic pickle or carrot pickle, all available from Leo Foods.
Chicken Burgers Made Extra Delicious
In our humble opinion, the best chicken burgers are tex-mex style! Top a juicy grilled chicken breast with some salsa and guacamole, a dash of hot sauce or a few pickled jalapeños and -muah! You can even ditch the standard burger bun and throw all that deliciousness into one of our flour, beetroot, spinach, or tomato wraps for a healthier but just as (or more?) yummy version of your standard chicken burger. Or take a trip to Hawaii by marinating your chicken breast in teriyaki sauce and topping it after grilling with a ring of pineapple. Yum!
Tasty Fish Burgers
Pescatarians have just as much versatility as any other when it comes to fish burgers! Up the flavour profile by mixing a bit of katsuobushi with some panko before coating and frying a fish fillet, then add even more tasty crunch by topping the end result with some coleslaw (or appleslaw if you’re feelin’ fancy!). Or, if salmon is more your thing, take your salmon burger to the next level with just about any fruit salsa you prefer, (use fresh, frozen or dried fruits!) a bit of chimichurri, garlic mayo, or a dash of soy sauce.
Yummy Plant-Based Veggie Burgers
We haven’t forgotten about the vegetarians and vegans out there, not that we possible could -you folks have so many options when it comes to burger ideas! Make your own using black beans, chickpeas, butter beans, lentils, quinoa, or brown rice and any and all your favourite spice combinations (try falafel spice mix!), some dried shitake mushrooms, tofu, and whatever veggies or cheeses that strike your fancy, then grill to perfection and top with any of the tasty combinations we’ve described elsewhere in this article. A-mazing! Or, cut your prep time in half with just as delicious results by grabbing some Quorn veggie burgers, Peas of Heaven Burgers of Heaven or Tender Jacks original and smokey BBQ from Leo Foods so you have more time to have fun with tasty topping combinations.
