Pan Seared Raspberry Chipotle Burger

So Mandi and I wanted to do something a bit different with a burger here is what we came up with.

Ingredients:
90/10 lean ground chuck
Sweet onion
Cilantro
4 minced garlic cloves
Sea salt
Crumbling cheese
Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
Raspberries
Orange blossom honey
Premium buns
Jalapeño Pepper
Cream cheese
Romaine lettuce
Red wine vinegar

Step 1: The sauce
Take a hand full of raspberries, 2 chipotle peppers minus an extra adobo sauce. 3 Tbsp honey, 4 minced garlic cloves, 3 tsp red wine vinegar. Put all into a blender and blend well. Add honey to desired sweetness but not too sweet.

Step 2:
Make sure your ground chuck is not frozen and not too cold but not room temp. Add the raspberry sauce with two hand fulls of chopped sweet onion, 1 hand full of crumbling cheese, and 1 small hand full of fresh cilantro. A pinch of sea salt and mix well. Let marinate for about 30 minutes.

Step 3:
Cut up 2 jalapeño peppers and mix them well with the cream cheese, add cilantro to taste.

Step 4:
In a very hot pan sear the meat on both sides, then cook till slightly pink in the middle. Flip often to make sure the sugars to do not burn and reduce heat to medium high.

Step 5:
Plate up on a good bun, spread your jalapeño cream cheese on the top, add some lettuce, and give yourself some cream cheese and raspberry chipotle sauce on the plate for dipping, cilantro and jalapeño if you want more for the burger!
