Onions

  • 2 large Spanish or sweet onions, halved and sliced

Instructions

  1. Combine all burger ingredients except the vegetable oil. Mix thoroughly.
  2. Forming 2-inch burgers: Roll approximately 2 tbsp of meat into a ball in your hands, then flatten. Place on a cookie sheet. Continue until all mini patties are formed. Refrigerate.
  3. Make the spicy mayo: in a small bowl, stir together mayo or alternative, chipotle peppers and lemon juice. Set aside
  4. For caramelized onions: over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil in a large saute pan. Add the onions and salt and pepper. Stir together well and reduce temperature to medium-low.
  5. Continue to cook onions 18-20 minutes, stirring often. Remove from pan and cool.
  6. Remove raw burgers from fridge. In a large pan, heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add burgers and cook 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked.
  7. To assemble burgers, use your favorite gluten-free or allergen-free mini buns. Spread mayo on both sides of bun, add one burger and top with a spoonful of caramelized onion. Serve immediately.
