Blueberry Burgers
When Serious Eats New York contributor Tam Ngo mentioned this recipe for blueberry burgers, I thought what anyone else would think: "HUH?" Blueberry-flavored beef patties? The blueberries aren't included for flavor, but for their moisture-enhancing properties. According to Acme Instant Food and Four Obsessions, adding blueberries results in a burger that is amazingly flavorful and juicy without any added fat. The only tangible trace of blueberries is the dark skins in the patty.
