Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
1 1/4 pounds ground veal
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons coarse-grained mustard
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/2 teaspoon dried rubbed sage
4 4-inch-diameter portobello mushrooms, stemmed
6 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 large sesame-seed buns, split, toasted

Steps:

  • Mix cheese and green onions in medium bowl. Gently mix ground veal, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper in large bowl. Divide veal mixture into 4 equal portions. Divide 1 portion in half; form two 1/8-inch-thick patties. Place 1/4 cup cheese mixture atop 1 patty; top with second patty. Seal at edges to enclose cheese mixture. Repeat with remaining 3 portions.
  • Mix mayonnaise, mustard, lemon peel and sage in small bowl. (Patties and mayonnaise mixture can be made 2 hours ahead. Cover separately and refrigerate.) Preheat oven to 400°F. Place mushrooms on rimmed baking sheet. Combine 4 tablespoons oil and garlic. Brush over both sides of mushrooms. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast mushrooms until tender, turning once, about 20 minutes.
  • Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add burgers and cook until cheese melts, about 5 minutes per side.
  • Spread mayonnaise mixture over buns. Place burgers on bottom halves. Top with mushrooms, then with bun tops.

Tips:

  • To make the best veal burger, start with high-quality ground veal. Look for veal that is finely ground and has a good amount of fat content, which will help keep the burger juicy.
  • Season the veal burger liberally with salt and pepper, and add any other desired seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Form the veal burger into patties that are about 1/2-inch thick. Be sure to handle the meat gently to avoid overworking it.
  • Cook the veal burger over medium heat until it is cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Do not overcook the burger, or it will become dry and tough.
  • Serve the veal burger on a pita bread with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and tzatziki sauce.
