This is a burger recipe with a rather unusual topping – peanut butter! It’s a bit wacky and will be most suited to the hardcore peanut butter lover, which is why I’ve named it the Elvis Burger. 

Ingredients

  • About 1 pound/450 grams ground beef
  • 8 rashers smoked bacon
  • 1 thumb sized piece of ginger, peeled and grated
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 tbsp chipotle chili flakes
  • 4 tbsp Peanut Butter & Co. Old Fashioned Smooth 
  • ¼ iceberg lettuce, shredded
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 burger buns

Directions

  1. Divide the ground beef into 4 equally sized balls, then flatten into patties and set aside. Grill the bacon rasher until crisp, then chop into smallish pieces and set aside.

  2. Heat a pan until very hot. Season the burger patties with salt and pepper and cook for 2 minutes each side, or to taste.
  3. While the burgers are cooking, make the peanut butter sauce by heating a tablespoon of oil in a pan and gently softening the ginger and garlic for a couple of minutes, stirring. Add the chipotle flakes for a further minute, then take the pan off the heat and add the Peanut Butter & Co. Old Fashioned Smooth, along with a tablespoon of hot water (don’t use cold water). Mix well.
  4. When the burgers and sauce are ready, place a little iceberg lettuce on each bun, followed by some onion, a burger, then some of the peanut butter sauce. Top with crispy bacon pieces and the top half of the bun. Eat immediately.
