About
Nothing beats a Tuna Burger with Asian Cucumber Salad!
I look for inspiration everywhere and strive to cook different and unique recipes as often as I can. For instance, my Facebook feed has more food stories than anything else (sorry friends). Last week a post came across from Food & Wine with a slideshow of several different seafood burgers. They all looked great and for me it was hard to decide which to try first. I chose this Tuna Burger Recipe and modified it for the Big Green Egg. This is a bit tricky to make and takes patience but is well worth the time and effort! Now sit back, grab a glass of your favorite Sauvignon Blanc, and enjoy this recipe for Big Green Egg Thai Chili Ginger Tuna Burgers
