Homemade Lamb Burgers

Ingredients:

~ 1 ½ lbs Ground ‘Scotch Mountain’ Lamb
~ 1 to 2 Shallots depending on taste - finely chopped
~ 1 bottle Crosse & Blackwell Mint Sauce or equivalent vinegar based mint sauce
~ 1/3 cup Bread Crumbs

Preparation:

~ Strain 1 tbsp of mint sauce leaves from mint sauce vinegar with a sieve
~ Set aside 3 tbsp of mint sauce vinegar and return remainder to bottle

In a bowl add ground lamb, shallots, mint leaves and mint sauce vinegar.  Fold and mix briefly.  Add Breadcrumbs to absorb excess vinegar.  Gently fold and mix together thoroughly.  Form into 4 hamburger patties – remember that ground lamb will shrink considerably when cooking so adjust patty size to compensate.

BBQ Lamb burgers on high heat, 2 minutes per side, then reduce heat to medium and cook until desired.  (Watch for flare ups).

Serve with blue cheese and arugula or caramelized onions.

Enjoy
