My mother never really cooked ground meat, but I have given these burgers the flavor of her Greek cooking. I like a lot of pepper on mine, coating each side liberally, but the kids prefer these burgers with just a very little finely ground pepper. Serve with a garlic mayonnaise. Ingredients:
1/2 cup mayonnaise |
1 teaspoon minced garlic |
2 pounds ground lamb |
1/4 cup breadcrumbs |
1 cup trimmed, diced fennel bulb |
3 tablespoons shallots, minced |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
ground black pepper to taste |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
8 hamburger buns |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise and minced garlic. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
2. Preheat grill for high heat.
3. Mix together lamb, breadcrumbs, fennel, shallot, oregano, and salt. Form into 3/4-inch-thick patties, and sprinkle black pepper over each.
4. Brush grate with olive oil, and place burgers on grill. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes per side, turning once, or until done. Serve on buns with garlic mayonnaise.
