Chicken Burger with Salsa Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 green bell pepper
• 1 Shallot
• 1 Garlic clove
• 1 red chili pepper
• 180 ml ketchup
• Salt
• pepper (ground)
• 100 g corn (canned)
• 500 g fresh poultry ground meat
• 1 egg
• breadcrumbs (as needed)
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 4 pickles
• 1 Red Onion
• 4 lettuce leaves (e.g., Lollo bianco)
• 4 burger buns
• 4 slices of cheese

Instructions

1. 1.

   For the salsa, wash and finely dice the bell pepper. Peel and finely chop the shallot and garlic clove. Wash the chili, halve it lengthwise, remove seeds, and finely chop. Mix the diced bell pepper, shallot, garlic, and ketchup; season with salt and pepper.

2. 2.

   Drain the corn well and combine with the ground meat, egg, and a little breadcrumbs if needed. Season with salt and pepper and shape into four patties. Fry the patties in hot oil until golden brown on all sides, reduce heat, and let them finish cooking.

3. 3.

   Drain the pickles and slice thinly. Peel the onion and cut into narrow rings. Wash, dry, and pat the lettuce leaves. Halve the buns horizontally, toast briefly or lightly roast in a 200°C oven. Place a lettuce leaf on each bottom bun, add a chicken burger patty, drizzle with salsa, top with a cheese slice. Briefly melt the cheese under a hot grill, then add pickle slices and onion rings, close with the top bun. Plate and serve with fries if desired.
