Preparation
Cook the spinach
- Heat the BBQ on high (or pan on medium-high), making sure to oil the grill first.
- Heat a large, dry pan on medium.
- Add the spinach and 1 tbsp water. Cook, partially covered, 2 to 3 min., until wilted.
- Transfer to a plate and refrigerate, 2 to 3 min., or until cool enough to handle.
- Using a paper towel, squeeze to remove any excess liquid.
- Transfer to a cutting board and roughly chop. Squeeze again to remove any excess liquid.
Prepare the patties
- In a large bowl, combine the beef, spinach and all but a pinch of the spices.
- Form into 4 patties.
Grill the patties & buns
- Add the patties* to the BBQ (or pan) and grill, 3 to 5 min. per side, until cooked through.
- Add the buns, cut-sides down, to the BBQ (or pan) and grill, 1 to 2 min., until warmed through.
Make the salad
- Meanwhile, cut the radishes into wedges.
- Thinly slice the scallions crosswise, separating the white bottoms and green tops.
- In a second large bowl, combine the vinegar, white bottoms of the scallions and 3 tbsp oil.
- Add the radishes, baby greens and S&P; toss well.
Make the scallion mayo
- In a small bowl, combine the mayo, green tops of the scallions and remaining spices.
Plate your dish
- Divide the bun bottoms between your plates.
- Top each bun bottom with the scallion mayo, a patty and a bun top.
- Serve the salad on the side. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground beef to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
