Burger And Fries On The Big Green EggI never thought that I’d be doing burger and fries on the barbecue but now that I’ve got my Big Green Egg kamado cooker, not only am I doing it I’m doing it really well! The beauty of the Big Green Egg (or I guess any other kamado cooker such as the Primo kamado or Grill Dome ) is that you can use it like an oven as well as a grill and this is the significant thing when doing burger and fries. The fries are cooked in duck fat in the oven and the burgers can be done similarly with a quick flash on the grill to brown them up at the last minute. Ingredients:-
Method:- Cut up your potatoes for fries and throw them into boiling water for 10 minutes, drain thoroughly and dry with a little kitchen paper. Get your Egg going really hot and set it up for indirect cooking (caution – use heat resistant gloves to insert the plate setter). Place the fries in an oven tray and spoon over the duck fat so that you have about one tablespoon of fat per portion of fries.
The fries will cook at 180°C or 350°F in about 30 minutes so when you get to half time, lay the burgers on the grate above and let them have fifteen minutes. When the fries are ready (again with heat resistant gloves) remove the oven tray and the plate setter and give the burgers 5 minutes grilling on each side to brown them. Drain the fries and transfer them to a warm serving dish, place the burgers on top and the choice of barbecue sauce is up to you. See Also:-
