Burger And Fries On The Big Green EggI never thought that I’d be doing burger and fries on the barbecue but on such a versatile grill (my Big Green Egg kamado cooker), not only is it possible, it also tastes absolutely wonderful! 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 indirectly in duck fat and the burgers can also be done indirectly with a quick flash on the grill to brown them up at the last minute.
I had fries cooked in duck fat at a restaurant in Bordeaux France called La Tupina and ever since that day duck fat or goose fat has been a regular ingredient to be found in my refrigerator. It's a completely different tasting result altogether and you simply must try it. When you read the method below you'll see that I've got a couple of little tips for you that will only serve to enhance the crisp flavor of your fries. This recipe is about the process of cooking the burger and fries so my assumption is that you've already made your burgers (or bought them) and the preparation time reflects this. If needed, use this link for some great grilled hamburger recipes. Preparation Time:-10 mins Total Time:-1hr 40 mins 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. Allow the fries to cool, place them in an oven tray and then spoon over the duck fat and leave them to sit for an hour - this allows the fat time to penetrate the potato and really deliver that crisp texture that we are looking for. Next we need a blast of heat. Get your Egg going really hot and set it up for indirect cooking (caution – use heat resistant gloves to insert the plate setter). 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:-
