Hamburger di agnello

Hamburger di agnello is a great twist for your next burger night! In our house we like to try different things to keep week night dinners interesting.  We often take a regular meal, like burger night, and make it fun using new ingredients.  This burger night was a nice change to turkey, chicken and beef burgers and I can't wait to make it again!

This is what I put in the burger mixture:

1 package of New Zealand lean ground lamb

1 tsp dijon mustard

1/2 grated onion

2 cloves of minced garlic

1 tsp black pepper

1 tsp sea salt

1 tsp cayenne pepper

I made 4oz patties and fried them in butter to create a wonderful crispy exterior. About 3 minutes per side on medium high heat.


They smelled amazing!


Crispy and yummy!



 

I decided to make a sauce for the burgers that would complement the lamb without overpowering its flavour.

This is what I used:

1 cup of greek yogurt

10 fresh mint leaves

1/2 peeled cucumber

4 cloves of garlic

salt and pepper

splash of extra virgin olive oil

1/2 cup of greek feta

I pureed the above ingredients in my food processor.

 I placed the buns faced down in the pan after removing the burgers and made the bread crispy and delicious. After the bread was crispy I built the burgers using fresh tomatoes, greens and my burger dressing.

I hope the next time you have a burger night that you give these wonderful burgers a try!

Buon Appetito!
