Mango Black Bean Turkey Burger with avocado cilantro sauce

Date: July 7th, 2011

Recipe: http://www.carascravings.com/2011/06/spicy-mango-black-bean-turkey-burgers.html

Modifications: Instead of actually making the mango salsa, I just sauteed the mango with some jalapenos and onions ont the stove.

Time to table: 1.5 hours, with waiting for the charcoal

Servings: 5 burgers

Ben: Like

Erin: Like

Annie: Like

Notes: This meal was kind of a pain to put together because you have to make the salsa, the yogurt spread, the black bean mix, and then shape the patties. These burgers tasted good, I just don’t think they’re worth the effort involved. They also didn’t stay together very well on the grill, a common gripe of mine regarding (mostly) veggie burgers.

Annie didn’t really get into this meal but she did enjoy a bun with the avocado yogurt on it.

Mango Salsa

Date: June 17, 2011

Recipe: This recipe is from my friend Scott, he made it a few weeks ago and it was awesome:

  • 1 mango
  • 1/2 onion
  • 1 cup of frozen corn
  • 1 habanero pepper with half the seeds
  • juice of 1 lime

Dice up the mango, onion, and habanero. Add the corn and lime juice. Let sit for awhile for the corn to thaw and then eat with tortilla chips.

Modifications: I skipped the habanero seeds, but I should have left them in because my version was missing the heat that Scotty’s had.

Time to table: 20 minutes

Servings: About 2-3 cups of salsa

Ben: Loved Scotty’s, mine wasn’t hot enough

Notes: This is a really easy salsa to make. The mango I got might not have been ripe yet either, I’ll be trying again though.
