Open Face Lamb Burgers With Mint Yogurt Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Place the garlic, rosemary, oregano, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and pulse until the herbs are finely minced. Add the lemon juice, olive oil, and red wine and combine. Place the chops in a glass or ceramic dish just large enough to hold them in a single layer. Pour the marinade over the chops, turning to coat both sides. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours but preferably overnight.
• When ready to cook, prepare a grill with one layer of hot coals or turn a gas grill to medium-high heat. Remove the lamb from the marinade, sprinkle generously with salt and pepper, and grill for 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove to a platter, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and set aside to rest for 10 minutes. Serve hot with the cold Yogurt Mint Sauce.
• Place the scallions, mint, dill, red pepper flakes, olive oil, and lemon juice in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and puree until it's a coarse paste. Add the yogurt, salt, and pepper and pulse until combined. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to develop.

Steps:

• For the burgers: Place the ginger, garlic, lime leaves, shallots and lemongrass in a food processor and pulse until a chunky paste is formed. Place the lamb in large bowl and add the lemongrass paste, curry powder, white pepper, soy sauce, Worcestershire, cilantro, mint and parsley. Mix until combined. Portion into 4-ounce patties.
• For the yogurt sauce: Combine the yogurt with the lime juice, curry powder, white pepper, salt, mint, cilantro, mint and parsley.
• Cook the burgers until light pink in the center. Toast the brioche buns. Place the burgers on the buns and top with the yogurt sauce and pea sprouts.

Steps:

• First make the dip by mixing together the yogurt and mint with a little seasoning, then chill until ready to serve.
• Tip the lamb mince into a big bowl with the spices, chilli, herbs, Worcestershire sauce and egg. Season, then get your hands in and mix well. Divide the mixture into 16. Shape into burgers, pushing a cube of cheese into the centre of each and sealing in. Chill until just before your guests arrive.
• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 and heat the oil in a frying pan. Fry the burgers for 1-2 mins until brown on each side, then transfer to a baking tray. Put in the oven for 5-10 mins until cooked through and piping hot. Pile onto a big plate and serve with the dip on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, fennel seeds (if using), and 2 tablespoons water; season generously with salt and pepper. Cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are caramelized, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Raise heat to high; add vinegar and 2/3 cup water. Boil, scraping up browned bits from bottom of skillet, until liquid is slightly reduced, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain onions in a sieve set over a bowl, reserving liquid.
• Arrange bread slices on a baking sheet. Top each slice with lamb and onions, and drizzle with oil. Bake until heated through, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately, with reserved liquid spooned over top.

Steps:

• Mix first 5 ingredients together in medium bowl. Season yogurt sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
• Mix lamb and next 5 ingredients in large bowl until well blended. Season generously with salt and pepper. Shape mixture into four 3/4-inch-thick patties.
• Preheat broiler. Place lamb patties on broiler rack and broil until cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.
• Open pita bread rounds; line bottoms with trimmed tops, if desired. Place lettuce, burger, then large spoonful of yogurt sauce in each round. Serve, passing sauce separately.
