Absolutely. Here’s the full flavor-forward, low-GI, gluten-free blueprint for your:
Spicy Kansas City Rib Burger
Pulled Rib Patty | Red Onion Slaw | Hot Honey Glaze
Tagline: “Where smoke meets fire, and sweet tang pulls it all together.”
1. Concept Overview
This is bold barbecue decadence wrapped in clean fuel—designed for maximum sauciness, spice, and texture, while staying gluten-free and low-GI. Instead of ground beef, this burger features shredded Kansas City-style rib meat, pressed into a juicy patty and slathered with smoky, spicy sauce.
It’s topped with crisp red onion slaw, tangy house pickles, and finished with a drizzle of hot honey for that burnt-sweet finish.
2. Rib Meat Patty Base
• Pulled rib meat: Smoked, deboned, and hand-shredded (ideally with some fat + bark)
• Mixed with:
• Smoked paprika, chipotle, black pepper, garlic powder, onion flakes
• Binder: Egg yolk + almond flour or crushed pork rinds (GF, low-GI)
• Optional heat: Minced jalapeño or cayenne
• Press into a thick patty and pan-sear or grill to crisp edges while staying tender inside.
3. Kansas City BBQ Sauce – Spicy & Sugar-Free
• Tomato paste + apple cider vinegar base
• Smoked paprika, mustard, chipotle, cinnamon, black pepper
• Sweetened with monk fruit, allulose, or unsulphured blackstrap molasses (just a touch)
• Simmered down to a thick glaze.
• Brush generously onto the patty mid-sear, then again during stacking.
4. Red Onion Slaw (Crunch + Cool)
• Thin-sliced red onions + shredded cabbage
• Tossed in:
• Apple cider vinegar
• Monk fruit or erythritol
• Olive oil
• Celery seed + mustard powder + cracked salt
• Optional: touch of yogurt or coconut cream for creamy bite
• Let sit 15+ minutes to bloom
5. Tangy Pickles
• Quick-pickled cucumber or zucchini slices
• Soaked in white vinegar, monk fruit, coriander seed, dill, garlic
• Must be crisp, tangy, and acidic to cut through the meat and sauce
6. Cheese (Optional but Perfect)
• Sharp white cheddar or smoked provolone
• Must balance heat + sweetness
• Dairy-free alt: spicy cashew cream cheese
7. Sauce Finish – Hot Honey Drizzle
• Base: Sugar-free honey alt (monk fruit or allulose blends)
• Infused with: Chili flakes, cayenne, vinegar, and thyme
• Drizzle across the top layer—let it run down the slaw for that sticky-glow finish
8. Bun (Gluten-Free + Low-GI)
• Almond flour or coconut flour buns—lightly toasted in ghee or avocado oil
• Option: “Cloud bun” (egg + almond butter) if you want ultra-low carb
• Press buns with a skillet for golden texture + durability
