Instructions

1

First, make your green goddess dressing. Blend parsley, chives, dill, green onions, garlic, and salt in a food processor until finely processed. Add mayo, Greek yogurt, and vinegar, then blitz until mixed through. Pour into a bowl and set aside.

2

Divide meat into 4 equal portions, forming patties about 1/2” thick. Make indent in center with thumb to prevent burger from bulging in center.

3

Heat your No. 12 Cast Iron Skillet over medium-high heat. Once pan is hot but not smoking, add 1 tablespoon of canola oil and sear onion rounds, keeping them intact as much as possible. Cook until softened, about 3 minutes, flip and cook another 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

4

Wipe skillet with a paper towel and return to heat. Raise heat to high, then add remaining tablespoon canola oil to the skillet. Season each patty with 2 teaspoons Kosher salt and a generous portion of black pepper on both sides. Cook patties for 3 minutes until a crust forms. Flip over and add a slice of cheese to each patty, then cook for another 3-4 minutes, until burgers are medium-rare.

5

Wipe skillet out and add butter and toast hamburger buns until golden brown, about 1 minute.

6

Place sliced avocado on the bottom of each burger bun. Add burger patty, sliced red onions, a handful of microgreens and a couple of dollops of green goddess.

7

Serve burgers with herby French fries and extra green goddess.
