Ingredients

Units Scale

  • 1 medium zucchini (courgette), finely grated
  • 1 medium carrot, finely grated
  • 2 tbsp finely minced onion (white or yellow)
  • 2 tbsp finely minced garlic
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill
  • 1/2 cups (120 ml) beer
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 whole wheat buns or rye rolls
  • Red onion
  • lettuce
  • tomato
  • remoulade
  • 1 cups (237 ml) mayonnaise
  • curry powder (to taste + color)
  • 1/8 tsp dry mustard
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cups (118 ml) finely chopped white onion
  • 1/2-3/4 cups (118-177 ml) dill pickle relish
  • 1/4 cups (59 ml) fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cups (59 ml) fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • salt and white pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. For the burgers
  2. Prepare the grill and cook the burgers directly over medium heat.
  3. Wring out the grated zucchini and carrots with a paper towel to ensure they are very dry.
  4. Combine the beef, zucchini, carrots, onion, garlic, and dill in a large bowl and mix lightly.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine the beer, egg, salt, and red pepper flakes. Add this mixture to the beef and mix lightly.
  6. Form the beef into four patties and season with freshly ground black pepper.
  7. Grill the burgers for 8-10 minutes, covered, turning once and basting each side with beer, until desired doneness.
  8. For the remoulade
  9. Combine the mayonnaise and curry powder until a very slight yellow-green color is achieved.
  10. Once the desired color and taste are achieved, add the dry mustard powder and stir to combine.
  11. Add the remaining ingredients except salt and pepper, reserving some chopped ingredients to achieve a creamy, oatmeal-like texture.
  12. Season with salt and white pepper to taste.
  13. Assemble the burgers: spread remoulade on the bun.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use a dark beer like a stout or porter.
  • To make ahead, prepare the remoulade and burger patties separately; store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • If you don’t have fresh dill, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of dried dill for the fresh dill in both the burger and remoulade.
