    cucinettaNYC's Notes: Nothing says summer more than tree-ripened stone fruit. This summer, I fell in love with peaches and am incorporating them in both sweet and savory dishes. I think this slider recipe truly...

Serves 6

  1. Heat outdoor grill or indoor cast-iron griddle to high.

    Ask the hotline about this step!
  2. Meanwhile, melt butter and oil in pan on medium high heat. Add onions and cook until caramelized, approximately 5-6 minutes.

  3. While onions are caramelizing, fold in chipotle into ground beef. Note: do not over-work/mix the beef.

    Ask the hotline about this step!
  4. Once onions are caramelized, remove from heat. Start to form sliders, approximately 6 sliders per 1 pound of beef. Feel free to make sliders as big or as small as you like.

  5. Salt and pepper the sliders and place on hot grill. Cook to desired temperature. We like medium-rare which is approximately 3 minutes per side.

  6. While sliders are grilling, add mayonnaise, lime zest, lime juice and basil to food processor and blend until combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Note: the sauce will be a lovely light green color.

  7. Once you are 1 minute away from sliders being done, place peach slices on grill and cook for 1 minute until grill marks appear but peaches do not soften.

    Ask the hotline about this step!
  8. Remove peaches and sliders from heat. Let sliders rest but remember there will be some carry-over cooking so internal temperature will still rise.

    Ask the hotline about this step!
  9. To assemble: spread sauce on bottom half of slider roll. Next, stack slider, peach, onion (in that order). Spread more sauce on top half of roll and place on top of slider stack.

I'm your classic grill guy, but I think adding chipotle is genius. I just got into grilling fruit last summer, so this will be a cool way to impress my friends at my next party.

Very unique pairings. I am an adventurous foodie and will definitely try it out tomorrow. I got a bunch of peaches at the farmers market today and can't wait to put them to good use!
