Ingredients:
Hamburger patties
Buns (of your choice)
Pineapple rings
4 Slices of Swiss Cheese
2 Sweet potatoes (peeled, and cut julienne style)
2 TB butter (unsalted)
1 Carrot (diced small)
1 Celery Stalk (diced small)
2 Garlic Cloves (fresh)
6 Almonds (raw)
1 TB Minced Onion
1 tsp. Honey
1 tsp. Lime juice
BRAGG's Liquid Amino's or Soy Sauce
Black Pepper
Coarse Sea Salt (in a grinder)
Homemade Teriyaki (or store bought - I just didn't have any on hand)
1 C. Water
5 TB Brown Sugar
1 TB Sesame Seeds
1/4 C. Soy Sauce (or I use BRAGGS liquid amino's)
1 tsp. Ginger (fresh ground)
1 tsp. Garlic powder (I used onion powder because I am out of garlic powder)
2 TB Pineapple juice (I used the juice from the can)
2 TB Corn Starch
- For sauce - add all ingredients to a sauce pan (except the corn starch) - heat until sugar melts. Mix the corn starch with 1/4 cup cold water and dissolve. Add the corn starch mixture to the saucepan and continue to heat and stir until thick.
Directions:
- First, prepare the teriyaki sauce if you want to make it from scratch (directions below).
- Next, dice the carrots, celery, almonds, and garlic very fine.
- Julienne the sweet potatoes (I used a food processor for this).
- Saute the sweet potatoes in the butter, honey, minced onion, and a dash of salt until soft with a slight crisp.
- Saute the carrots, celery, almonds, lime juice, and garlic in 1 TB of butter for about a minute or two. Set both aside.
- Heat the grill or griddle.
- Drizzle some BRAGG's (or soy sauce) and black pepper onto the hamburger patties (both sides).
- Cook the hamburgers, adding the Swiss cheese towards the end.
- Add a little butter to the griddle and brown the buns.
- Add a little teriyaki sauce to the bottom bun.
- Pile on the ingredients!
- Patty
- Sweet potato slaw
- Carrot mix

- Pineapple Slice
I highly recommend napkins for this one....and my camera died before I could get a final shot or one with a pineapple slice on it for that matter! Enjoy!
