Instructions
Lamb:
- In a large bowl add in all the ingredients for the lamb. Mix well with your hands and cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 2 hours.
Mushrooms:
- Heat up oil and butter in a pan with garlic. Add peperoncino.
- Add mushrooms, herbs, and seasoning and stir, sauteing the mushrooms for 10-15 minutes on medium to high heat.
- Take off heat and set aside.
Aioli:
- In a ramekin combine mayo, mustard, and balsamic cream.
- Whisk until well incorporated and place in the fridge.
Burgers:
- Take the seasoned ground lamb, scoop out around 2 tablespoons and place in hand. Take a cube of cheese and put it in the middle and shape the meat around the cheese and roll into a ball. Press down and shape into a round patty and place on a plate.
- Repeat this process until all the ground lamb is gone.
Onion Rings:
- In a bowl mix flour and seasonings.
- Whisk in sparkling water and add more if batter is too thick. Should be creamy and smooth and just thick enough to coat the onion rings.
- Heat up peanut oil in a medium pot.
- Place a few onion rings in batter until well-coated. Lift out of batter and let excess drip off and place into the hot oil. Cook for about 2 minutes and turn. Take out and place on a paper towel lined dish when golden and crisp.
- Repeat this process until done.
Grilling:
- Preheat BBQ to around 450 degrees F.
- Place burgers on hot grill and cook for about 2 minutes then turn them 180 degrees and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Turn burgers over and repeat the cooking process turning burgers 180 degrees after 2 minutes and cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
- Place cheese on hot burgers and let rest.
- Place cut brioche buns on grill and toast for a few minutes, take off grill and set aside.
- Meanwhile, warm up mushrooms.
Assembly:
- Spread a good spoonful of aioli onto the bottom half of the bun.
- Place the burger onto the aioli and top with sauteed mushrooms. Spread some more aioli on the top half of bun and place on the burger with mushrooms.
- Top burger with a folded dill pickle slice.
- Put some onion rings on the side.
- Ready to serve.
Enjoy!
