During corona pandemic everything is locked down in the city, my family and me are seriously missing dining out and our favorite foods e.g. Burgers, Pizza so I have decided to give a surprise to my family and decided to prepare a burger at home. I have worked around and found delicious burger recipe “Goat Cheese stuffed Lamb Burger”. Ingredient are simple but one thing hard to found in Pakistan i.e. Goat Cheese. Luckily I found goat milk from my neighbors and prepare the cheese at home.
- 1 tsp. olive oil
- ½ cup diced onion
- 2 pounds ground lamb
- 1 egg
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 1 clove of minced garlic
- 3 tsp. salt
- 1 tbsp. ground black pepper
- 4 oz. soft goat cheese
- 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp. chopped fresh basil leaves
- 1 tbsp. chopped fresh oregano
- 6 burger buns
Cooking Directions:
- Start by heating 1 tbsp. of olive in a pan over medium heat. Cook and stir the onions in the oil until they are soft and translucent, approx. 5 min.
- Prepare the petty mixture by mixing the onions, mince, egg, bread crumbs, garlic, salt and pepper. Divide the mix into 6 even parts and roll them into balls. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Mix together the goat cheese, extra-virgin olive oil, basil, and oregano until well combined. Cover and let the mix chill for 5 min.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium to high heat. Take the meatballs and make an indentation in the center of the ball and fill up the indentation with a tablespoon of the goat cheese mix.
- Evenly pull and form the meat patty around the goat cheese mix and in the process, make a burger shaped patty. Repeat this process with the rest of the meatballs. Grill the meat patties on the grill for approx. 8 min. per side or until they are no longer pink in the center.
- Assemble the burgers and serve.
