Steirerkraft on fire!

At the Weingut Krispel barbecue, we didn’t just watch — we got hands-on! That’s how this creative polenta burger came to life.
Instead of a classic burger bun, crispy grilled slices of polenta take center stage. Topped with fresh arugula, savory bacon, and a creamy pumpkin seed oil dressing, it’s a true grilling highlight. This is what summer in Styria tastes like!

Prepare the polenta with the vegetable broth according to the package instructions and season well. While still hot, spread the mixture about 2 cm thick onto a baking tray and refrigerate for at least one hour to set.
For the burger sauce, stir the sour cream and pumpkin seed oil together until smooth and season generously with salt and pepper.
Once the polenta has firmed up, use a round cutter to cut out bun-sized circles and grill them on both sides until golden and slightly crispy. Place the bacon slices on the grill as well — optionally, you can grill the tomato slices too (but it’s not necessary).
Now it’s time to build your burger: layer a polenta bun with arugula, tomato, bacon, and cheese. Drizzle the creamy pumpkin seed oil dressing over the top, then finish with another polenta bun — and enjoy immediately!

This is my tip

The savory polenta burger with bacon and cheese calls for a full-bodied yet elegant companion. The family cuvée “The Krispels” is exactly that.
