This recipe was provided by professional chefs and has been scaled down from a bulk recipe provided by a restaurant. The Food Network Kitchens chefs have not tested this recipe, in the proportions indicated, and therefore, we cannot make any representation as to the results.
Pickled carrots and radishes:
- 10 radishes, thinly slices
- 5 to 7 carrots, julienned
- 1 cup rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce (recommended: Sriracha)
- Dash sugar
- Salt
Place the sliced vegetables into 1 cup rice wine vinegar mixed with hot sauce, a dash of sugar, and a dash of salt. 15 minutes in the vinegar should leave the vegetables with a nice crunch. They can be left in the vinegar for an indefinite amount of time, however. The vinegar can be saved and used again later.
Cilantro mayonnaise:
- 1 bunch cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
- 1 cup mayonnaise
Simply mix the chopped cilantro with the mayonnaise.

This was a huge hit. The pickled veggies, marinated overnight, with the little sriracha bite were delicious and the burgers done on the grill were packed with flavor and very juicy.

We tried this last night just the way it was written and it was very tasty. We may add jalepenos next time for a bit more spice!
