Sometimes kids get so fussy with food and they become your biggest critic. I finally decided to make burgers, and yes home made burger patties. So the below was my end product.
Let me tell you, they were better than any burger I had ever tasted, perfectly juicy inside and grilled just nice outside. First, start by getting good quality ground lamb. You can use any type of meat of your choice, chicken or pork. Marinate the meat with a fair bit of tumeric, paprika and cumin powder. Add salt and pepper for seasoning. Mix them well and make them into patties. The trick to work your way through and season the meat thoroughly.
I wrap the patties in foils and refridgerated them for later use. This process also enhances the flavour and holds them into the shape better. I never measure my ingredients so I apologize for not being able to provide precise measurement. I go with the smell, and touch. Remember not to overwork the patties.
Use a grill pan to grill your burger to get that beautiful charred mark. I used butter because it was for my son and he could afford that little bit of fat on him. Toast your buns to get the best out of it. Lastly assemble your burger as per your choice.
Mine was a simple assembly of a slice of tomato, freshly grilled lamb patty, cheese, lettuce in between toasted buns. The king was the flavourful lamb patties marinated with my favourite spices, grilled to perfection! Yummm....
