Green Onion Burgers with Burst Tomato-Tarragon Sauce
This cheeseburger is fresh-tasting and doesn’t leave you feeling over-full in warm months. Serve with olive oil chips or Terra Brand Yukon Gold chips with onions and garlic.
- 2 tablespoons EVOO – Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 pints cherry tomatoes
- 4 cloves garlic, sliced
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon sherry or balsamic vinegar

- 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
- 1 rounded tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 8 thin slices fresh mozzarella or mild provolone

Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add cherry tomatoes and garlic, shake pan and season with salt and pepper. Cover and shake pan occasionally until tomatoes begin to burst. Uncover and mash tomatoes; let thicken. Add vinegar, scallion greens and tarragon, and remove from heat.
Preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
