Elk Burgers....condiments?

[OCEllen]

Have never eaten elk burgers, any condiment suggestions?

Pimiento cheese and sliced ripe tomatoes.

Did the caramelized onions with balsamic vinegar and blue cheese, a bit of mayo mixed with coarse mustard and hot sauce on good buns with a slice of tomato and some spinach - they were delicious!

awesome! Glad someone found my advice useful!

We have elk here regularly. Something fruity goes very well, such as this blueberry ketchup. It is sublime with game. I just made yet another jar of it yesterday.

I second the caramelized onion suggestion. Have you tried ajvar? It is a roasted eggplant/red pepper/etc. condiment that is used in Central/Eastern Europe instead of ketchup. I prefer it, too. Bleu or goat's cheese are great with elk.

ETA: I forgot to mention fried capers.

Depends on the elk, but usually not as "gamey" as venison. I would do caramelized onions, bleu cheese... but everyone has their favorites.

Here's a couple of interesting sites:

We don't have elk in my part of the world but, assuming it tastes like most venison, then I'd be wanting a strong mustard and something sweet, like a redcurrant sauce/jelly
