How about using butternut squash for something other than soups and purées? Swap your bread for slices of butternut squash in your burgers! A melt-in-your-mouth result packed with flavor is guaranteed ;-) For your hamburger filling, choose whichever ingredients you like best. We went for a good beef patty with raclette cheese, lettuce and tomato sauce: a simple and effective combination.

Preparation

Preparation50 min

Cook time40 min

Collect the upper part of your butternut squash (about 7 oz) and remove the skin using a peeler.
Cut it into 4 slices widthwise and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
On each slice, pour a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt, pepper and bake for 35 minutes at 370°F (190°C).

Meanwhile, mince 1/2 onion and fry for a few minutes in a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Set aside.

In the same skillet, cook your ground beef.
Melt some butter and place your skillet over high heat. Brown your steaks for 1 minute on each side.
Lower the heat to medium, flip the steaks and cook for 1.5 minutes.
Turn them over again, salt and pepper the surface and place a slice of cheese on each steak. Cook again for 1.5 minutes.
Take them off the heat and set aside.

Prepare the tomato sauce: in a bowl, mix the tomato puree, salt, pepper and dried rosemary. Set aside.

Let's assemble:
* 1 slice of butternut squash
* 1 teaspoon of tomato sauce
* A few lettuce leaves
* 1 beef patty with a slice of cheese
* A few onion slices
* A few lamb's lettuce leaves
* 1 slice of butternut squash

Do the same with the remaining ingredients on another plate, and voilà! Your butternut squash burgers are ready. Enjoy!

How do I cook a frozen beef patty?

Here, we used a fresh or thawed beef patty. If you're short on time, you can cook a frozen patty directly from the freezer. To do this, sear it over high heat for 1 minute on each side, then cook it over medium heat for another 2 minutes 30 seconds to 3 minutes on each side.
