Gourmet Burgers and Fried Zucchini

One of the greatest foods of all time is a burger. A nice, juicy burger. James and I went to a place in Myrtle Beach that was absolutely delicious, and it sprouted our interest in creating unique burgers at home. Now, the burgers we had in Myrtle beach are way more adventurous with topping such as Doritos and peanut butter. If you ever have the urge to put peanut butter on a burger, make sure you have jalapenos to go with it. Seriously, do it.

This meal is 100% paleo and extremely yummy. Yes, it is possible to eat burgers and fried zucchini while being healthy. Here's how...

Ingredients for Burger
  • 2 pounds of lean ground beef
  • 1 jalapeno, diced
  • 1/4 onion, diced
  • Worcestershire sauce (That is an incredibly hard word to spell. I would totally lose in a spelling bee.)
  • Garlic powder
  • Onion powder
  • Pepper
  • Salt
*Combine all ingredients and cook at 450 degrees for 17 minutes. 18 is way too much.

Toppings
Fried egg
Sliced avocado (I had to use spellcheck. Again)
Homemade Pico
  • 2 Roma tomatoes
  • 1 Jalapeno
  • 1/2 Lime
  • Fresh cilantro
Fried Zucchini
  • 2 Zucchini, sliced
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 Cups of almond flour
  • Garlic powder
  • Onion powder
  • Pepper
  • Salt
  • Coconut oil
*Heat oil. Dip zucchini in egg and then seasoned flour. Fry until zucchini is soft and the almond flour is brown. Note: almond flour really dirties the oil. Your zucchini will look darker than if you fried it in flour.



 
I don't like egg, at all, so mine is without. James on the other hand, went crazy with egg and it actually looks delicious. I know I would hate it, but it does look good.

    1. Thanks, D! I'm going to work on making paleo sushi soon. Maybe I'll by the stuff to make it over Christmas break.
