Burgers Recipe ∗ Thai Burgers

I love Thai food, and I adore barbecue. While experimenting one day, I came up with these beauties. They might not be 'authentic' but they sure hit the spot.

Ingredients

• 1 ¾ pounds lean ground beef
• ½ cup bread crumbs
• 2 tablespoons lemon grass, minced
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
• 2 tablespoons minced shallots
• 2 red chili peppers, seeded and minced
• ¼ cup chopped peanuts
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 limes

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat grill for high heat.
2. In a large bowl, mix together ground round, bread crumbs, lemon grass, shallot, chili peppers, and peanuts. Season with salt and pepper. Form into patties. If you are making these ahead of time, do not add peanuts until you are ready to grill.
