I might never eat a beef burger again!

This is a watermelon burger and it’s absolutely delicious. PLEASE TRY IT!!

Having seen one recipe I kept seeing watermelon burgers everywhere (you know how it is) and as I had one I thought I’d try it.

So we have …

Watermelon (peeled of course) and in a little olive oil, salt and pepper and then onto a hot griddle for 3-4 mins each side - longer if your melon burger is thicker of course.

I added the bread roll to the same griddle pan to quickly toast it.

Accompaniments were what I had in the fridge really and thought would be good.

Greek yogurt with sweet chilli sauce stirred into it (to have in place of any butter or mayo) …. but next time I’ll use something spicier as the melon is so sweet when it’s cooked

cucumber

pickles

onion slices in white vinegar to remove the sharpness

feta cheese crumbled over - you could try other cheeses melted onto the melon - goat’s cheese would be good. Ideally a tangy cheese I think


The melon is a delight. Warm and sweet and a little charred.

I actually can’t wait to make this on a barbecue and surprise everyone with how good it is!
