Don't be put off by the slightly purplish colour of these burgers. Once they are cooked nobody will even be able to tell that they once looked so strange. This is another one of those recipes I just had to try because of the strange mix of ingredients...blueberries, ground flax and oatmeal to name a few. The end result was a pretty decent tasting burger. In fact for extra lean ground beef these burgers came out super moist. This recipe makes 4 hearty sized patties. My husband liked them and said he would definitely eat them again. We enjoyed our first barbeque of the season and took advantage of the nice weather and ate out on the porch.
SERVED WITH: Asparagus and a side salad topped with beans and corn. Just make note that corn is a yellow light item from the GI Diet.
COOKING TIPS: Don't wear white when working with the blueberries. It is also a little tricky to tell if the burgers are done until you become familiar with what ground blueberries look like in your meat. About 4 to 5 minutes per side on the barbeque should just about do it.
RATING: 7. I was pleased but not blown away. A decent tasting burger considering the recipe called for extra lean ground beef.
