Brazilain Street Food the Tasting Queens Way

In this recipe we've turned Brazilian street food on it's heels. The biggest twist was that we indulged and used Shiitaki Mushrooms in place of bread and chose to serve them with grilled zucchini wedges rather than the traditional oily French Fries. Not to worry, we didn't spare any of the flavor. So break out that grill already and enjoy this Summer recipe with your friends.

Ingredients:

Two large Shiitake Mushrooms
6oz All beef burger patty
One large Steak Tomato
1oz Fresh Corn Kernels
1oz Micro Greens
1 Egg
1tsp Capers
1/2 tsp of your favorite steak seasoning
1/2 tsp vegetable oil
1tsp Green Goddess Anything Dressing

Now let's get cooking. I used a George Foreman grill for this recipe but feel free to fire up your outdoor grill if you have one. Heat grill to 500-600 degrees (outdoor) and place seasoned patty on it. Cook with lid open for about 3 minutes on each side. I like my meat close to well done, so feel free to cook yours the way you like them.

While the burger patty is getting those gorgeous grill marks, heat medium pan and add vegetable oil. Beat the egg and fry. Before flipping, top with corn and capers. Remove from pan and set aside. Slice tomatoes and set aside. It's now time to remove the burger from the hot grill and leave it to rest. You can either grill the mushrooms for approximately 2 minutes or if you so desire (as I did), you can heat a pan and sear them for about 1 minute on each side using a quick spritz of cooking spray. Next sear cut Zucchini wedges and set aside.

Now it's time to stack! Start with one of the mushrooms, then add the fried egg. Place beef patty next and top with greens. Add dressing and top with remaining mushroom bun. Finish plating your master piece by adding a quick salad and vegetable wedge. You are now ready to indulge your senses. Dig in and enjoy!
