Krups Specialty Smoke-less Grill PG770D51 Mode D'emploi page 15

To Serve
Choose any of the suggested toppings below, or any toppings of your choice:
„ Boston lettuce
„ Red or yellow tomato, sliced
„ Red or white onion, sliced
„ Mayonnaise or condiment of your choice
Directions
Place the ground beef, the chopped mushrooms and the grated cheese in a bowl and use your hands to
thoroughly combine, then divide the meat preparation into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a thick
patty and season with sea salt and pepper. Burgers may be prepared ahead, covered with plastic wrap and
refrigerated.
When ready to cook, turn the grill to 400 °F until the preheating phase is complete, it will be indicated by the
READY LED turning on.
Place the burgers on the cooking plate and let it cook for about 3 minutes on each side for medium rare plus.
While the burgers are grilling, brush the rolls with the melted butter and set aside to toast on the grill after the
burgers have finished cooking.
When the burgers are cooked, transfer the burgers to a plate to rest for 1 minute while the buns are toasting.
Serve the grilled burgers with the toppings and condiments of your choice.
Portobello mushrooms and Swiss cheese are often thought of as 'toppings' for a grilled burger. Instead, we
combine the mushrooms and cheese within the ground beef prior to grilling, and the result is a delicious, moist
burger. Every bite delivers a balanced flavor of the beef, mushroom and Swiss.
Grilled Asparagus
with Fresh Mozzarella
Ingredients
„ 1 pound asparagus, tough ends trimmed (choose
stalks of even thickness for even grilling)
„ 1/2 pound fresh mozzarella, cut into thin slices
„ 2 tablespoons olive oil (plus more for garnish)
Directions
Drizzle the asparagus with the olive oil and toss to evenly coat. Season with the garlic salt and toss again to
evenly distribute.
Turn the grill to sear and start the preheating process. When your grill is ready for cooking, the READY LED
will turn on. You can now add the asparagus to the grill.
Cook the asparagus for 3 to 5 minutes or until tender with nicely browned grilled marks. Remove from the grill
and place 4-6 grilled spears on individual serving plates.
Serve with a slice or two of fresh mozzarella on top of the asparagus. Season with fresh black pepper and
garnish with the fresh chives.
Perfectly grilled asparagus topped with fresh mozzarella cheese easily turns into a beautiful luncheon dish, an
accompaniment to an entrée, or simply served with grilled fresh bread as a delicious Sunday dinner.
