GOAT CHEESE STUFFED LAMB BURGERS



Goat Cheese Stuffed Lamb Burgers image

I love making these flavorful lamb burgers stuffed with creamy, delicious goat cheese. I use basil and oregano in mine, but feel free to use your favorite herbs and spices, this recipe is very forgiving. Using fresh rosemary in the goat cheese filling will give the burgers a real Greek flavor. Serve the burgers on hamburger buns or pita bread with tzatziki sauce, or on their own with a Greek salad.

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 teaspoon olive oil
½ cup diced onion
2 pounds ground lamb
1 egg
1 cup bread crumbs
1 clove garlic, minced
4 ½ teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
4 ounces soft goat cheese
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano

Steps:

  • Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the onions in the oil until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Gently knead together the softened onions, lamb, egg, bread crumbs, garlic, salt, and pepper. Divide the mixture into 6 parts and roll into balls, then cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Mix together the goat cheese, extra-virgin olive oil, basil, and oregano until well combined; cover and chill for 5 minutes.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
  • Working with one portion of meat at a time, make an indentation in the center of the ball with your thumb. Fill the indentation with a heaping tablespoon of the goat cheese mixture. Gently pull and form the meat patty around the cheese filling, making a burger-shaped patty. Repeat with each ball of the lamb mixture.
  • Grill the patties on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and well done, about 8 minutes per side.

1/2 bunch fresh mint, finely chopped
2 sprigs fresh oregano, finely chopped
Zest of 1/2 lemon
4 Whole-Wheat Pitas, recipe follows, or 4 seeded hamburger buns
Pickled Feta Spread, recipe follows
1 beefsteak tomato, sliced for garnish
2 cups baby spinach, for garnish
1 1/4 cups warm water
1 teaspoon sugar
1 envelope active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups bread flour, plus a little more for dusting
1 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour
2 teaspoons cumin seeds, toasted and ground
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Pinch cayenne pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for oiling bowl
1 cup champagne vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 tablespoon kosher salt
2 mint tea bags
1 bay leaf
3 fresh mint stems (leaves reserved for something else), optional
3 fresh dill stems, same deal as the mint stems
3 fresh oregano stems, same deal as the mint stems
8 ounces feta, coarsely crumbled
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

Steps:

  • Coat a large saute pan with olive oil, toss in the diced onions and season with salt and crushed red pepper. Bring the pan to medium-high heat and cook the onions for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 2 to 4 more minutes. Turn the heat off and let cool.
  • In a large bowl, combine the lamb, the cooled onion mixture, the dill, mint, oregano, lemon zest and 1/2 to 3/4 cup water. Sprinkle with salt and combine well. Make a little "tester patty," cook it and taste for seasoning.
  • Preheat the grill.
  • Form the lamb mixture into 4 equal patties and sprinkle with salt. Grill the burgers to your desired doneness, 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove the burgers from the grill and let rest for 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Cut the Whole-Wheat Pitas in half. Schmear each half generously with the Pickled Feta Spread. Top one half with a burger, then tomatoes, sliced onions and spinach. Place the other pita half on top.
  • In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar and yeast and let sit for 15 minutes.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flours, cumin, salt and cayenne. Add the yeast mixture and the olive oil. Mix on medium speed to combine and knead the dough. It should take 6 to 7 minutes. The dough will be firm and not sticky or tacky.
  • Place the dough in a lightly oiled mixing bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
  • Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll into 7-inch rounds (1/4-inch thick). Divide the dough between 2 sheet trays, cover them loosely with a clean tea towel or plastic wrap and let rest for 20 minutes.
  • Bake the pitas for 3 to 4 minutes, then turn the pitas over and bake for 2 more minutes. Let cool and use as desired.
  • Place the vinegar, sugar, salt, tea bags, bay leaf and herb stems, if using, in a small saucepan along with 1 cup water. Heat until the sugar and salt has dissolved. Remove from the heat and let cool.
  • Place the feta in a small container. Add the vinegar mixture and be sure that the feta is submerged in the liquid. Let sit for a couple of hours outside the refrigerator if using right away, or in the refrigerator if using in the future.
  • Strain the feta from the pickling liquid and discard the tea bags, bay leaf and stems. Place the feta in a food processor and add the yogurt. Pulse until combined.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality lamb: Opt for ground lamb that is fresh and has a good fat content, around 20%. This will ensure juicy and flavorful burgers.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, and oregano add a burst of flavor to the burgers. If using dried herbs, use about 1/3 of the amount of fresh herbs.
  • Don't overwork the meat: Overworking the meat can result in tough burgers. Mix the ingredients just until combined.
  • Shape the burgers gently: Use your hands to gently shape the burgers into patties. Avoid pressing them too firmly, as this can also toughen them.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat: This will help prevent the burgers from drying out. Cook them for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for medium-rare.
  • Let the burgers rest before serving: Allow the burgers to rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful burger.

Conclusion:

These herbed lamb burgers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer cookout or a weeknight dinner. With their juicy lamb patties, flavorful herbs, and tangy tzatziki sauce, these burgers are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So fire up your grill or heat up your skillet and give these burgers a try!
