These juicy lamb burgers are filled with goat cheese, roasted garlic, fresh rosemary, chipotle chiles and glazed with maple syrup. Serve on ciabbatta bread with a side of oven roasted potato wedges with italian herbs and pesto aioli. Ingredients:
1 head garlic |
1 pound ground lamb |
6 ounces soft goat cheese |
6 tablespoons minced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce |
2 sprigs chopped fresh rosemary |
2 tablespoons maple syrup |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
2 tablespoons maple syrup |
4 ciabatta buns, split and toasted |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Cut the top off of the head of garlic, and place onto a small, oven safe dish.
2. Bake the garlic in the preheated oven until the cloves are soft and golden brown, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven, and cool. Once cool enough to handle, squeeze the roasted garlic into a mixing bowl. Add the lamb, goat cheese, chipotle peppers, rosemary, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, salt, and pepper; mix well. Form the mixture into 4 patties.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb patties for 1 minute on each side, then reduce the heat to medium-low, and continue cooking to your desired degree of doneness, about 2 minutes per side for medium-well. About 1 minute before the patties are ready, pour in the remaining 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and allow it to thicken and glaze the burgers. Serve on toasted ciabatta buns.
