Instructions

Marinated Basil-Garlic Tomatoes Whisk together the garlic, vinegar and drizzle in the olive oil. Gently stir in sliced tomatoes and basil, season with salt and pepper set aside in refrigerator and let marinate for 2-3 hours Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high. Once grill is ready cut Bell Peppers in half and wipe with Olive Oil and place on grill until blistered. Remove and place in Ziploc bag for estimated 15 minutes this will create a steaming effect. When cooled they can be skinned and then cut Julienne. Add to sauce pan your vinegar and sugar and reduce till almost dry. Add pepper flakes and bell peppers and simmer until vegetables become limp but still textured. Take your ground chuck and bijou sausage that is ground together and add your blueberries, oats and garlic and carrots and salt and mix together while simmering your peppers. Take your hamburger mixture and form into six patties and place on grill. Cover and cook 5 minutes per side for medium or longer for more doneness. The last couple of minutes you want to take your squaw bread and lightly coat with your Tomato-Basil marinade and place on the outer edges of grill until lightly toasted. Assemble hamburgers as follows; whip your goat cheese until smooth then spread on top bun of Squaw bread, place hamburger on bottom bun and top with your Red Pepper Relish and Fresh Basil Tomatoes.
