Herb Stuffed Burgers Recipe

Paleo cooks keep reinventing the classic burger time and time again, and every time a new recipe emerges, it is tastier than the last, as is the case of herb-stuffed burgers. With green onions, garlic, parsley, sage, and mustard stirred directly into the ground meat; every bite will explode with herby goodness.

As you may have already noticed, this recipe does not skimp on the herbs, dried or fresh. This is a wonderful thing because herbs have many benefits: they are full of disease-fighting antioxidants, they are infinitely more flavorful than salt and pepper, and many have antiviral, antibacterial, and antimicrobial properties.

They are relatively cheap if you consider food as medicine, and you can save yet more money if you grow your own in your garden or windowsill.

You may even want to make your own Herbes de Provence spice mix with a combination of savory rosemary, thyme, oregano, marjoram, and lavender leaves or flowers, for this is what makes the burger extra special.

Herb-stuffed burgers hold their own next to a side of mixed seasonal veggies - lettuce, cherry tomatoes, peppers, or a balsamic onion salad, but if you are holding onto the tradition "it must have a bun!", know that there are Paleo options available, and all of them are incredibly tasty.

You can make a Paleo burger bun with coconut flour and eggs or with almond flour; you can wrap them in fresh green lettuce leaves, or you could even grill a set of large portobellos and squash the burger in between.
