Some delicious sides
Don't let your burger fly solo, team it up with a tasty sidekick!
Sweet potato fries: The sweetness of the fries complements the tangy blue-cheese dressing nicely.
Coleslaw: A side of coleslaw is a perfect match for the red cabbage in the burger and add some additional crunch and freshness.
Roasted vegetables: Roasted vegetables, such as carrots and broccoli, provide a flavourful side dish.
Potato salad: A creamy potato salad adds a comforting and classic side dish to your meal.
Grilled corn on the cob: Grilled corn on the cob can add a smoky flavour and a touch of sweetness to your meal.
Spice it up with these classic pairings
Feeling hot, hot, hot? You can add a little heat to your burger to spice it up:
- Hot sauce: Adding a few drops of hot sauce to the blue cheese sauce can add a nice kick of heat to the burger. You can use any hot sauce of your choice.
- Cayenne pepper: A pinch of cayenne pepper can add a spicy kick to the blue cheese sauce. Be careful not to add too much, as cayenne pepper can be very hot.
- Jalapeño peppers: Adding some diced jalapeño peppers to the blue cheese sauce can add a nice spicy flavour to the burger.
- Red pepper flakes: Sprinkling some red pepper flakes on top of the burger can add a nice spicy flavour to the dish.
- Black pepper: Freshly ground black pepper can add a subtle spicy flavour to the blue cheese sauce and complement the rich taste of the duck.
Start with a small amount of spice and taste the sauce as you go to avoid making it too spicy. Adjust the amount of spice to your liking.
Variations of the duck burger – classic cheese
If you're not a fan of blue cheese, you could substitute the blue cheese sauce with a creamy cheese sauce of your choice such as brie, camembert, or gouda. The choice of cheese will ultimately depend on your personal taste preferences. An Asian-style sauce could also be a delicious alternative.
