Author: Abel James
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 1 pound pasture-raised ground duck
- 2 slices nitrate-/nitrite-free bacon
- ½ tablespoon 100% pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Braggs liquid aminos (or coconut aminos)
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon grass-fed ghee (or other cooking fat)
- ½ purple onion, thinly sliced
- 4 slices grass-fed pepper jack cheese (optional)
- 4 thick slices organic tomato
- Organic arugula and mustard for serving
Instructions
- Finely chop 2 slices of bacon and add to a bowl with ground duck, ½ tablespoon maple syrup, 1 tablespoon liquid aminos, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Mix with hands until well combined, and form into 4 patties.
- Melt 1 tablespoon ghee in a skillet over medium. Add sliced onions and saute. Set aside.
- Add burgers to the skillet and cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Flip. If using pepper jack cheese, add a slice to each burger. Cook until done, about 3-4 more minutes.

Two points.
1. Very interesting to see the aminos in the receipt. I don´t think I have seen that before. How does it affect the taste ?
2. To get the sugars in the onions to caramelize they need to be slow cooked over medium to low heat for rather long time (approx 1 hour or more). Make sure you don´t fry them with to high heat. It sounds like 15 minutes to get the onions ready is to short.
PS. Great show.
