Although burgers qualify as their own fast-growing category, they are often listed in the sandwich section on menus. Chef Hanau puts a unique spin on a typical burger by using duck meat—a product that comes in convenient ground form—in place of beef. Instead of an ordinary bun, he uses focaccia for the carrier. A zesty slaw and rosemary-flavored butter pump up the flavor even more.
Ingredients
Duckling Burger:
2 lb. all-natural ground duck meat
3 tbsp. bread crumbs
2 tbsp. Dijon mustard
2 tbsp. finely chopped onions
2 tbsp. chopped parsley
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. minced garlic
1 tsp. ground black pepper
1 tsp. sea salt
Rosemary Sour Cream Butter:
4 oz. unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. brown sugar
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tsp. grated lemon zest
1 tsp. finely chopped rosemary
1/2 tsp. salt
Dash hot sauce
3 tbsp. finely chopped parsley
Red Cider Slaw:
1 1/2 tbsp. mayonnaise
1 1/2 tsp. sugar
1 tbsp. cider vinegar
1/4 tsp. Salt
1/4 tsp. white pepper
2 tsp. minced parsley
1 1/2 cup shredded red cabbage
1/3 cup coarsely grated seedless cucumber, squeezed dry
2 tbsp. coarsely grated carrots
2 tbsp. minced red bell pepper
6 rosemary focaccia buns (5 to 6-in. diameter)
Steps
1. Combine burger ingredients. Divide into 8 oz. portions; shape into 4-in. diameter patties about 1/2-in. thick. Refrigerate covered for a minimum of 1 hr.
2. Place all rosemary butter ingredients except parsley into food processor. Blend until smooth. Remove from processor; blend in parsley. Reserve one-half of butter mixture for brushing burgers and the other half for buttering focaccia.
3. Prepare slaw: In large bowl, combine first six ingredients. Before service, blend in cabbage, cucumber, carrots and bell pepper.
4. For service: Preheat grill. Place patties on hot grill. Cook, turning when bottom side is marked; brush with butter-mixture. Continue to turn and brush with butter mixture about 5 to 7 min. or until desired doneness has been reached.
5. Cut focaccia in half; toast. Brush top and inside with butter mixture. Place duck burger on bottom half of bread; top with Red Cider Slaw or serve slaw on the side. Add top half of bread.
