Ingredients

4 Boca Burger patties (or any plant-based burger patty)
4 burger buns
2 tablespoons butter (for toasting buns)
4 slices of cheddar or vegan cheese (optional)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for grilling toppings)

Toppings:

1 large onion, sliced
1 tomato, sliced
4 leaves of lettuce
Pickles, sliced
Ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise (or vegan alternatives)
Avocado slices (optional)
Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Fire Up the Arteflame Grill

Start by lighting the Arteflame grill. Place three vegetable-oil-soaked napkins under the firewood and light them. Wait about 20 minutes for the grill to get hot. The center grate will be ideal for searing the Boca Burger patties, while the outer flat cooktop is perfect for toasting buns and grilling toppings.

2. Grill the Boca Burger Patties

Place the Boca Burger patties on the center grill grate. Grill each side for about 4-5 minutes, or until they are heated through and develop a slight char. If using cheese, place a slice on top of each patty during the last minute of grilling, allowing it to melt.

3. Grill the Onions and Toast the Buns

While the patties are grilling, drizzle vegetable oil on the outer flat cooktop and add the sliced onions. Grill the onions for about 5-6 minutes until they become soft and caramelized.
Butter the burger buns and toast them on the outer flat cooktop for 1-2 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.

4. Assemble the Boca Burgers

Once the patties are done, place each on a toasted bun. Top with grilled onions, lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, and optional avocado slices. Add your favorite condiments, such as ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise.

5. Serve

Serve the Boca burgers hot off the grill, garnished with fresh cilantro or parsley, and paired with a side of fries or grilled veggies.
