    Burgers With Ricotta Salata and Pickled Zucchini-
    Serves 4| Hands-On Time: 25m | Total Time: 35m
    Ingredients
    1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
    2 tablespoons sugar
    1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
    kosher salt and black pepper
    2 zucchini
    1 1/4 pounds ground chuck (85 percent lean or less)
    canola oil, for the grill
    4 brioche buns, split
    1/4 head radicchio
    4 ounces ricotta salata or Feta, thinly sliced


    Directions
    In a bowl, combine the vinegar and sugar with the crushed red pepper and 1 teaspoon salt. With a vegetable peeler, cut the zucchini into ribbons; add to the vinegar mixture and let stand 10 minutes.

    Meanwhile, heat grill to medium-high. Form the beef into four ¾-inch-thick patties. Use your fingers to make a shallow well in the top of each patty. (This will prevent overplumping during cooking.) Season with a total of ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper.

    Oil the grill and cook the patties with the wells facing up for 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 155° F for medium, 4 to 5 minutes more. Form sandwiches with the buns, radicchio, burgers, ricotta salata, and pickled zucchini.

      You can substitute an equal amount of fresh blueberries for the blackberries; be sure to rinse and dry them thoroughly before scattering over the batter.

      Yellow cornmeal produces a dessert that has a rich, golden color, but you could use white cornmeal instead.
