Ingredients

  1. 4 teaspoons olive oil
  2. 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  3. 1 small clove garlic, minced
  4. 1/4 cup creamy natural peanut butter
  5. 2 tablespoons ketchup
  6. 1 large carrot, thinly shaved into ribbons with a vegetable peeler
  7. 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  8. Pinch ground cumin
  9. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  10. 1 1/2 pounds ground chuck
  11. 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  12. 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  13. 2 scallions, finely chopped
  14. 4 hamburger buns, lightly toasted

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a small skillet over medium heat; add the cayenne and garlic and cook, stirring, until just golden, about 1 minute. Add the peanut butter, ketchup and 1/4 cup water and stir until incorporated. Transfer to a bowl. Toss the carrots with the lemon juice, cumin and salt and black pepper to taste. 
  2. Mix the beef with the cilantro, parsley, scallions, 1 teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper using your hands until just combined. Form into four 3/4-inch-thick patties, about 4 1/2; inches in diameter. Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a large cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook the burgers, turning once, about 4 minutes 30 seconds per side for medium. 
  3. Assemble the burgers on the hamburger buns with the peanut sauce and carrots.
