WATERMELON BURGERS WITH CHEESE

Watermelon Burgers With Cheese image

Truly a recipe for the adventurous! You actually grill watermelon meat, and then serve it on buns with cheese. Just like a hamburger. I haven't tried this, but I found the recipe in the Sunday New York Times in Mark Bittman's column. This is a legitimate recipe that I thought you might be interested in reading or maybe trying.

Time 31m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 small watermelon
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon onion, minced
salt and black pepper
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, grated or 4 ounces mozzarella cheese, sliced

Steps:

Heat a charcoal or gas grill to moderately high heat and put the rack about 4 inches from the flame.
Cut the watermelon lengthwise, into halves or quarters, depending on the size of the melon. From each length, cut 1-1/2-inch-thick slices; remove the rind from each slice. If there are black seeds, use a fork to remove as many of them as you can without beating up the flesh too much.
Mix the olive oil with the onion and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Brush or rub the mixture all over the watermelon slices. Grill or broil for about 5 minutes on each side. The flesh should be lightly caramelized and dried out a bit. Sprinkle each slice with cheese, cover the grill and cook just until the cheese melts, about a minute. (Monterey Jack or Gruyere are a couple of other cheese choices.).
Serve on buns, toast or hard rolls with the usual burger fixings.

Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

8 ounces halloumi cheese, sliced 1/4- to 1/3-inch-thick
Olive oil, for drizzling
4 potato rolls, preferably Martin's
1 cup diced watermelon
1 tablespoon minced fresh basil
1 tablespoon minced fresh mint
1/2 minced shallot
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups baby arugula
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/4 cup prepared black olive tapenade

Steps:

Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
Drizzle the cheese with the olive oil and place on the grill. Grill the cheese until grill marks appear and it begins to melt slightly, about 2 minutes per side. Place the rolls on the grill and allow to lightly toast.
Toss the watermelon, basil, mint and shallot in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Toss the arugula with the lemon juice in another bowl and season with salt and pepper. Spread one side of the toasted rolls with olive tapenade. Layer the halloumi, watermelon relish and arugula on each roll and serve.

Tips:

Choose ripe watermelons. This will ensure that your watermelon burgers are juicy and flavorful.
Use a sharp knife to cut the watermelon. This will help to prevent the watermelon from crumbling.
If you don't have a grill, you can cook your watermelon burgers in a pan on the stovetop. Just be sure to cook them over medium heat so that they don't burn.
Get creative with your toppings. You can use anything from cheese and bacon to avocado and sprouts.
Serve your watermelon burgers with your favorite sides, such as fries, chips, or salad.

Watermelon burgers are a fun and easy way to enjoy this refreshing fruit. They're perfect for summer cookouts or potlucks. And because they're made with healthy ingredients, you can feel good about eating them. So next time you're looking for a new way to enjoy watermelon, give these burgers a try.
