Vernalisa's Lamb Burgers
Recipe Submitted by Vernalisa.
"Great on Sourdough Bread! The burgers may be mixed, shaped, tightly wrapped, for 2 hours before cooking."
2 pounds lean ground lamb
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons fresh minced parsley or mint
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 large slices crusty sourdough bread
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large red onions, peeled and sliced
1/4 cup grainy mustard
Preheat the grill and place the grill rack 6 inches from the heat. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb with the garlic, parsley, and salt and pepper. Shape the mixture into 4 burgers of equal size. Grill the burgers for about 6 minutes per side for medium burgers, turning once. While the burgers are cooking, place the sourdough slices around the edge of the grill to toast; watch them carefully; they will require about 1 minute per side depending on how hot your grill is. Remove the burgers to a platter and keep warm. Place a cast-iron skillet on the grill. When very hot, add the olive oil; when the oil is hot, add the onions and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes. Stir in the mustard until well combined. Place 1 slice of toasted sourdough bread on each of 4 dinner plates. Place a burger on each toast and spoon equal portions of the onion mixture on top of each burger. Serve immediately.
