One more recipe to share with you all. Yesterday I made a new version of pickled onions to add to our burgers and I think this is the one I'll stick to. Oh, for heaven's sake, just looked at the source - Source: Karyn posted this on C@H July 12, 2015!
It's part of a recipe for Burgers with Blueberry BBQ Sauce, Goat Cheese, & Spicy Pickled Red - but I just wanted to make the onions. Love them - we can't stay out of 'em.
Burgers with Blueberry BBQ Sauce, Goat Cheese, & Spicy Pickled Red Onions SOON
For the Pickled Onions:
1 cup cider vinegar
½ cup water
¼ cup sugar
2 Tbs kosher salt
1 tsp of black peppercorns
2 red onions, sliced thinly
1 jalapeño, sliced
-------------------
For the Blueberry BBQ Sauce:
1 Tbs oil
1 small red onion, finely diced
1 jalapeño pepper, finely diced (seeded if you don’t like things too spicy)
¼ cup ketchup
¼ cup mustard
¼ cup diced tomatoes (canned works)
¼ cup brown sugar
Splash of red wine vinegar
1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
Salt and pepper
--------------------
For the Burgers:
Burger buns
1 lb lean ground beef
1 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper
6 oz goat cheese, softened
Baby arugula
1. For the Onions: In a saucepan over medium-high heat, add the vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and peppercorns and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Arrange the onions and pepper rings in a large, heat-proof container with a tight-fitting lid and pour the pickling liquid over top. Cool, cover, and store chilled for a minimum of 4-6 hours. The longer they sit in the fridge, the better they get.
2. For the BBQ sauce: sauté the onions and peppers in the oil until soft. Add all the other ingredients and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes or until the blueberries are very soft. Puree using a blender or food processor until completely smooth.
3. For the Burgers: Combine the beef, Worcestershire, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix the flavorings in without overworking the meat. Form into patties and grill or pan-griddle for 4 minutes per side. Slather the buns with the softened goat cheese, top with a burger, then the BBQ sauce, and finally the pickled onions and arugula. Serve immediately
