Thai Flavoured Chicken Burger

"Chicken burgers – Thai style! These are packed with a myriad of flavours reminiscent of Thailand. The Thai might enjoy something like this in the form of a kebab or skewer on sugar cane, but since hamburgers are about my favourite food in the world, why not play around?" - Chef Paul Silva

Makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

1 pound ground chicken
2 1/2 tablespoons lime zest
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon fresh chili, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/8 teaspoon sesame oil
1 egg
2 tablespoons coriander, chopped
1 shallot, minced
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons ginger, minced
1 teaspoon scallion, sliced
3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
1 teaspoon fish sauce

4 buns, toasted
lettuce
tomato
Pineapple Ketchup (recipe follows)

Preparation:

To make burgers: combine all ingredient in a large bowl until well combined. Add more or less panko breadcrumbs as needed to make the mix pliable and soft, but not falling apart.

Shape into 4 patties and refrigerate for 1 hour to let the flavours meld and the burgers keep their shape.

Grill on preheated grill until the internal temperature hits 180°F.

Serve on buns with lettuce, tomato and pineapple ketchup.
