Caesar Mayonnaise

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise

  • 1/4 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

  • 1 1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard

  • 1 tsp lemon zest

  • 2 tsp lemon juice

  • 1 small garlic clove, minced

Patties

  • 450 g ground chicken

  • 1/4 cup Italian bread crumbs

  • 1 tbsp anchovy paste

  • 1 small garlic clove, minced

  • 1 tbsp butter

  • 2 cups torn romaine

  • 4 hamburger buns, split and toasted

  • 2 tbsp bacon bits, (optional)

Instructions

  • Caesar Mayonnaise: Stir mayonnaise with cheese, Dijon, lemon zest, lemon juice and garlic in a small bowl. Season with pepper.

  • Patties: Combine chicken with bread crumbs, anchovy paste, garlic and 2 tbsp Caesar Mayonnaise in a medium bowl. Season with pepper.

  • Divide into 4 portions, then form into four 4-in.-wide patties.

  • Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium.

  • Add butter, then patties. Cook until meat springs back when touched, 3 to 4 min per side. Remove to a plate; keep warm.

  • Toss romaine leaves with 3 tbsp Caesar Mayonnaise. Spread bottom buns with remaining 1 tbsp Caesar Mayonnaise. Layer with patties and romaine. Sprinkle with bacon bits. Sandwich with top bun.

Grilling tip

To barbecue, preheat to medium-high and oil grill. Cook patties, covered, 3 to 4 min per side. Grill buns until golden, 1 min, watching carefully.
