Big Zuu’s plantain cheeseburgers
Big Zuu’s plantain cheeseburgers are a flavorful fusion of juicy beef patties, caramelized sweet plantains, sharp cheddar, and zesty toppings, all stacked in a toasted sesame bun—bold, satisfying, and unforgettable.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe plantains, peeled and sliced
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 cheddar cheese slices
- 4 sesame seed burger buns
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander, chopped
- 1 cup mixed salad leaves
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons mustard
- 8 pickle slices
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and lightly grease with olive oil.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, garlic, onion, coriander, salt, and pepper. Shape into 4 patties.
- In the same pan, cook plantain slices for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and caramelized. Remove and set aside.
- Cook the beef patties for 4–5 minutes per side until fully cooked. During the last minute, top with cheddar and cover to melt.
- Toast the burger buns in the same pan, cut side down, until golden brown.
- Spread mayo and mustard on the buns. Layer salad leaves, cheesy patty, caramelized plantains, and pickles.
- Top with the remaining buns, press gently, and serve hot.
Notes
- Use ripe plantains with dark spots for best caramelization.
- Rest patties for a few minutes before assembling to retain juices.
- Customize with spicy mayo, avocado, or different cheese options.
- Patties and plantains can be pre-cooked and stored for easy assembly later.
