Ingredients:
1/2 cup plain dried bread crumbs |
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf italian parsley |
1 large egg, lightly beaten |
2 tablespoons whole milk |
1/2 cup grated pecorino romano |
1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1 pound ground lamb |
6 large slices prosciutto, sliced medium-thin (for wrapping the burgers) |
1/4 cup olive oil |
fresh basil leaves, for topping each burger |
fresh tomato slices, for topping each burger |
extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling |
balsamic vinegar, for drizzling |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl combine the bread crumbs, parsley, egg, milk, cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, salt, and pepper, Stir to combine. Add the lamb and stir until incorporated. Divide the mixture into 6 (1-inch) thick burgers. Place the slices of prosciutto on a cutting board or piece of parchment paper. Place 1 lamb burger in the center of each slice of prosciutto and wrap the prosciutto around the burger.
2. Place a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and heat for 2 minutes. Place the lamb burgers, prosciutto-covered side down in the pan and cook over medium heat until the prosciutto is golden, about 6 to 8 minutes. Turn the burgers and finish cooking, about 6 to 8 minutes more.
3. Remove the burgers from the pan and place on a serving platter or individual plates. Top each burger with 2 to 3 basil leaves, 1 to 2 slices of tomato, and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Serve immediately.
