Lamb Burgers with Homemade Onion Rings

[RickB]

Felt like a burger but needed to shake things up. No beef, no chicken and defiantly NOT veggie burgers so lamb it is. I have grown an aversion to store bought ground meats so got some lamb to grind



Cut into strips for grinding.



Back into the fridge to cool. Grinder head into the freezer.



Ready to go. Some crushed ice to keep things cold.





All done.



Add some roasted garlic, S&P and chopped parsley.

 

Some ciabatta rolls so need square burgers





Get the rings ready. Cut the onions and into some buttermilk with Franks hot sauce for 2 hours



Get the dredge ready. Tried something different this time. ¾ ap flour, ¼ pan , S&P and some Happy Endings rub.



Bread and into the fridge for 2 hours.



Setup the Mak to grill. Bring up to temp.



Start the Rings frying



Get the fixins ready. Made up some  tzatziki sauce earlier. Cut up some red onion very thin. Some sliced tomato, romaine lettuce and some fontina cheese.

 



Grill the burgers and toast the buns

 

Plate it up





Enjoy!

Dang Rick! Ground lamb burger! Looks awesome!

How you like that grinding attachment for your mixer? My wife has a kitchen aid like yours and think I might buy one.

I've had it about six years now and I love it. I can process about a pound a minute. Be sure you don't get the plastic one out there. Get the metal chefs choice.

I have the kitchen aid one. Works great. Create a shield out of a large zip lock open on both ends or will end up wearing some meat. Not everyone likes a meat shirt

Rick,
The burgers look fantastic!!  The onion rings look equally as fantastic.  It looks like you included the Money rub into the flour mixture.  Was it noticeable?  I might be tempted to sprinkle some on the finished onion rings.  What kind of oil did you cook the rings in?

That's a great idea to grind a leg of lamb to make those fantastic burgers.

Well as they say never make more than one change at a time. I made three. They all worked out. Added som P.A.M. corn flour to the mix which gave them a better crunch and held the breading to the rings better. Also added some franks hot sauce to the buttermilk which added flavor. The Happy Endings to the flour was another change. The flavor and texture of the rings were the best I have ever made. Highly recommended.
