Zola Burgers

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe. The back story of these burgers is there was once a restaurant in Chicago named Hillary’s.  Hillary’s was located in Water Tower (a shopping center) on Michigan Avenue. We used to go to Hillary’s fairly often. I loved their Hillary Burger.

Hillary’s closed so I was faced with trying to figure out what was IN a Hillary burger or go without them forever. I think I did a pretty good job of figuring it out. And now I’m sharing this burger with Zola Dieters worldwide. So, that’s why it’s now called The Zola Burger.

These burgers are ultra-easy to make. You can even form patties and freeze them for later grilling or grill a bunch at once so you can have leftovers for food you can transport to the office and reheat. Don’t be put off if you are not normally a cumin fan. These burgers have a wonderful flavor.

Servings: Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 1 lb of ground sirloin
• 1 tsp of cumin
• 1 tsp of garlic powder
• ½ of a red bell pepper minced
• ½ tsp of black pepper
• celery salt

Instructions:

In a large bowl plop in your ground sirloin. Add the cumin, garlic powder, black pepper and the minced red pepper. Mix thoroughly with your hands and form into 4 patties. Sprinkle celery salt to taste on top of the patties.

Take out your grill pan. Lightly spray with a bit of olive oil. Grill the first side on medium high until you get some good grill marks. Then flip over and cook the other side on medium until it gets to the doneness level you like.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
