This Fourth of July holiday, instead of having the hamburgers first and then something sweet for dessert, why not have them together, all in the same bite. Be a good American and break away from conventional rule. Actually, I think its appropriate our chef on "What's Cooking" this weekend shows us how to make a Turkey-Whaffle-Burger using chocolate ice-cream. Be a good American. Declare your independence from the norm.
Actually, Chef Joe Ciminera from the TV cooking show "Taste This TV" is touring with and promoting Blue Bunny Ice Cream. He has created several recipes for main entrees using their flavors. He explained to me you can use the frozen treat for almost any recipe that calls for cream because that's what it is, it's just flavored and frozen. For the turkey burger, he grilled a patty the normal way, but used the ice cream for a sauce. All he did was put a scoop of chocolate ice cream in a pan, melt it down and add a spicy bar-b-que sauce. You can find more of Ciminera's recipes by by clicking here.
His recipes remind me of a burger you can get at a ball park outside of Saint Louis- The Black Angus Burger. It has meat, two strips of bacon, cheese - all between a Krispy Kreme donut. The creator says they are a hit. Definitely American.
