Pastrami-Spiced Veal Burgers
Yield: 6 servings
12 slices Smoked Gouda, sliced thinly
2 cups Sauerkraut, rinsed and drained
3/4 cup Mayonnaise
1 oz Fresh breadcrumbs
4 oz Milk
2 tsp Salt
2 lbs Ground veal
2 tsp Black peppercorns
2 tsp Coriander seeds
1/2tsp Mustard seeds
1 tsp Sweet paprika
1 tsp Onion powder
1/2 tsp Garlic powder
1 tsp Brown sugar
1/2 cup Whole grain mustard
2 cups Sauerkraut, rinsed and drained
3/4 cup Mayonnaise
1 oz Fresh breadcrumbs
4 oz Milk
2 tsp Salt
2 lbs Ground veal
2 tsp Black peppercorns
2 tsp Coriander seeds
1/2tsp Mustard seeds
1 tsp Sweet paprika
1 tsp Onion powder
1/2 tsp Garlic powder
1 tsp Brown sugar
1/2 cup Whole grain mustard
How to make it
Place the breadcrumbs, milk, and salt in a bowl and soak the breadcrumbs until softened. Mix the veal with the breadcrumb mixture and combine to form six patties. Toast the peppercorns, coriander, and mustard seeds in a dry pan. Let cool and grind them with the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and brown sugar. Coat the burgers with the spice mixture. Heat a grill on medium-high heat. Grill the burgers to desired doneness but at least 71°C (160°F) for food safety, adding a slice or two of cheese to each burger towards the end, to slightly melt. Spread the bottom of the bun with the mayonnaise, and top with whole grain mustard. Place the burger on the bottom, top with sauerkraut, and top with the bun. As easy to make as they are enjoyable to eat, one reason these burgers are better is that they're made with genuine European veal. Desired for its light color and delicate taste and texture, European veal has long been held in high regard among chefs around the world. What's more, European Union (EU) Legislation means high animal welfare standards are practised and enforced so consumers worldwide can feel confident about Trusted Veal from Europe, considered simply the best in taste and tradition. Fortunately, a wide selection of high-quality European veal is available throughout Canada.
