Preparation
Mise en place
Heat the BBQ on high, making sure to oil the grill first. Halve the cucumbers lengthwise; thinly slice crosswise on an angle. Halve the tomatoes. Thinly slice the lettuce. Roughly chop the cilantro leaves and stems. Mince the garlic.
Prepare the croquettes
In a large bowl, combine the beef, curry paste, garlic, ½ the cilantro and S&P. Form into 8 oval patties (double for 4 portions).
Grill the croquettes
Add the croquettes* to the BBQ (or to a grill pan heated with a drizzle of oil on medium-high) and grill, turning occasionally, 8 to 12 min., until cooked through.
Make the salad
Meanwhile, in a second large bowl, combine the lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, ½ the remaining cilantro and the vinaigrette.
Plate your dish
Divide the salad between your bowls. Top with the croquettes. Garnish with the remaining cilantro. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground beef to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
