Preparation Instructions

Mince one or two of the plums until you have about 1/2 cup of minced plums.* Thinly slice the remaining plums.

Finely mince the green onion, cilantro, garlic, and ginger. Fold these with the plums and soy sauce into the ground beef.

Form into about six* small patties. Heat a grill to medium heat. Place the patties on the grill and sear on each side for about 6-8 minutes.

Saute the red onions lightly in a splash of the oil over medium heat, just until wilted. Add another splash of oil and saute the summer squash until lightly golden. Season each with a pinch of salt.

To assemble the sandwiches, smear some of the plum sauce on each side of the buns. Top with a few of the seared squash, the cooked patties, slices of plum and a few extra leaves of cilantro to garnish. Sandwich together. Serve with extra sauce on the side.

*The original recipe serves two with about 3 sliders per person, so multiple the directions accordingly.
