Even if you are like us and don’t eat a lot of red meat, you probably have a burger now and then. I wanted to do something different than a plain burger so I put my thinking cap on (“what flavors am I hungry for?”) and looked in the pantry (“what do I have on hand?”).
The result was this very flavorful burger with wilted cabbage and sautéed mushrooms instead of lettuce and tomato, a lemony, chutney-low fat sour cream sauce and chopped green onions instead of mustard, ketchup, and pickle, and a whole wheat naan instead of a bun. It all worked together well and, paired with sweet potato fries, made a nice alternative for us. Now I feel compelled to be creative on those occasional burger nights!
