Gourmet Girls Lamb Burger Recipe.

Ingredients:

3 lamb steaks.
2 onions, 1 chopped, 1 thickly sliced.
2 gloves of garlic, crushed.
Sprig of rosemary.
1/2 bunch Italian parsley, chopped.
4 sprigs mint, chopped.
1 tsp chutney.
1 cup fresh white bread crumbs.
Salt and pepper.
Olive oil.
4 slices butternut (1cm thick).
1 loaf of ciabatta bread (or any favourite bread you have).

Tomato and chilli jam or your favourite relish.

Method:

Clean the lamb by removing all excess sinew and fat, chopped as finely as possible. In the mean time sauté the chopped onions and garlic, until translucent. Chop all the herbs and add to the minced lamb, now add the crumbs, fried onion, chutney, garlic and seasoning.

Place the slices of butternut and onions in a hot well oiled pan and fry until browned and cooked through, they should be slightly caramelised. Heat up a pan with little olive oil, shape the well combined lamb mix into flat patties (remember, they shrink and rise on cooking) cook patties until medium rare.

The bread is great slightly charred, and toasty, so rub both pieces with a trimmed head of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, and fry until crisp and browned. You really can go to town with this burger, and add anything you like, houmous, grilled aubergine, rocket, roasted tomatoes and feta.

Now sandwich the patty between the two toasty bread halves, top with jam, fried onion slices and butternut, and a grinding of pepper! No knife and fork! Eat with both hands!
