Pomegranate-infused fig filling elevates grilled bison burgers with melted Gruyere on toasted French bread.
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup pomegranate juice or cranberry juice
  • 0.5 cup chopped dried figs, stems removed
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 0.5 cup thinly sliced shallots
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 pounds ground bison
  • 0.25 cup soft bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 slices Gruyere cheese
  • 4 slices toasted French bread
Instructions:
  • In a small saucepan, gently heat the pomegranate juice until just about to boil. Add the figs, then remove the pan from the heat and allow the mixture to stand for 15 minutes. Drain the figs and set aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add shallots and cook in the butter for 3 to 5 minutes until tender. Stir in drained figs and honey. Reduce heat to low and cook for an additional 6 to 8 minutes until shallots are golden brown. Add thyme and let cool slightly.
  • In a large bowl, mix together egg, ground bison, bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, milk, garlic, salt, and pepper. Shape the mixture into 8 patties. Spoon filling onto half of the patties, then top with the remaining patties and pinch the edges to seal.
  • Preheat charcoal grill and arrange coals around a drip pan. Check for medium heat above the pan. Place bison patties on the grill rack over the drip pan. Grill covered for 16 to 22 minutes or until they reach 160 degrees F, flipping once halfway through. Put cheese on top, cover, and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until melted. Serve the bison patties open-faced on slices of French bread. If using a gas grill, preheat it, then reduce the heat to medium and adjust for indirect grilling before following the same instructions.
