Ingredients:
3/4 cup cider vinegar |
1/4 cup sugar |
2/3 cup water |
2 orange or red bell peppers, cut into 1/2-inch pieces |
1/3 cup golden raisins |
1 golden delicious apple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes |
1 teaspoon mustard seeds |
1/8 teaspoon cayenne |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 slice firm white sandwich bread, torn into pieces |
1 scallion, coarsely chopped |
1 garlic clove |
1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh mint |
1 1/4 lb ground lamb |
1 large egg, lightly beaten |
1/4 lb feta, crumbled (3/4 cup) |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
Directions:
1. Make relish: Bring vinegar and sugar to a boil in a 2-quart nonreactive heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then boil, uncovered, 1 minute. Add remaining relish ingredients and simmer briskly, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until peppers and apple are tender, about 25 minutes.
2. Make patties while relish is simmering: Preheat broiler.
3. Pulse bread, scallion, garlic, and mint in a food processor until finely chopped and add to lamb in a bowl along with egg, feta, salt, and pepper. Blend with your hands until just combined (do not overwork mixture, or patties will be tough). Form into 4 1/2-inch patties (about 1/2 inch thick).
4. Broil patties on oiled rack of a broiler pan 5 inches from heat until browned but still slightly pink in center, about 4 minutes on each side. Serve patties with relish.
5. Cooks'note: •Relish keeps, covered and chilled, 3 days. Reheat or serve at room temperature.
