Caramelized Shallots and Garlic (side/topping)

[Brutus]

If you can find a nice, fleshy medium-heat pepper, try roasting and peeling it and adding it to the topping list. Maybe it's just me but I'm always on the lookout for a good green chili cheese burger. I also like the idea of "sandwiching" the burger around the cheese.

Would a Jalapeno be agood pepper to try?

It wouldn't work as good as a Sandia, Big Jim or Anaheim. They are a little sweeter than a J and not prone to be as hot...generally speaking, because all peppers vary in heat even among like batches. I love my jalapenos, the Model-T of peppers, but not in this instance. However, if that's all you can get, go for it. And I always de-seed my peppers after roasting when using them as a topping. I don't want the heat to everwhelm the taste.

Looks like I got some great grilling ideas gathering here for the burger recipe. I think I'm going to give one of the three you've suggested. Thanks.

Here's a pic of the burger version. This is what I made for Mothers' Day.

Grilled hamburger topped with melted bleu cheeses (Danish), Caramelized garlic and shallots, and roasted Anaheim peppers.



Thanks for the Anaheim pepper suggestion Brutus. It was the accent to make the perfect burger.

You're welcome. Looks nice...make thatI REAL nice! Love the way these thumbnails work. For a thread about shallots and garlic you sure generated some response. Cool.

Thanks. I think that's the fun of cooking; taking a single concept and build on it. The applications are only limited to the imagination.

Hey Chase....if you're still around, thanks for the tip! I would have posted pix of the burgerlicious burgers too, but they got hozzled up so fast I didn't have a chance to snap em.
