So tonight I decided I want to roast and smoke some green chilies and put them on a simple burger with some queso fresca cheese sauce and a drizzle of new mexican dried red chili oil. A boy can dream!
So without further adieu let my (*&!@ delicious new burger
The Fire Roasted and Smoked Mix Green Chili Queso Fresca Burger
YUM YUM YUM YUM
Green Chile:
2 Anaheim Chilies
2 Large Serrano Chilies
1 Small Serrano
I first fire roasted them by using my tongs and gas range. This of course isnt the greatest approach because while you are getting a nice charring you do not get the nice smokiness you normally expect in fire roasted chilies. So I took out some apple wood chips and smoked me some peppers after charring them on my gas range.
Red Chile Oil:
2 Dried New Mexican Chilies (*&!@#*&!@*#& YUM)
Olive Oil
I boiled the peppers to reconstitute them. I think put it in my food processor with some olive oil and not it blend blend blend. I added a nice pinch of salt.
Burger:
We picked up some 80% meat 20% fat delicious ground beef and formed it into two patties. We had like 3/4 lb in total of beef. I nicely salted and peppered them to season them to perfection. A quick hit on the grill with a grill press on top to give it a NICE NICE crisp charred exterior.
Bun:
Whole wheat bun grilled to toasty perfection
Queso Fresca Sauce:
Queso Fresca
Heavy Cream
Put on a light heat in a sauce pan and whisk to cheesy perfection.
ASSEMBLE

HEAVEN
