Method

To Cook Patties

To prepare the patties, add the finely sliced red onion, balsamic vinegar, and brown sugar together in a pan.

Cook over a medium heat, stirring frequently until the onions are soft, fragrant and caramelised – approximately 10 minutes – then set aside to cool.

Combine all the burger patty ingredients, including the caramelised onions, in a mixing bowl and mix well with hands until all the ingredients have binded together.

Roll into balls roughly 100g in weight then press down flat with the palm of your hand to make a nice patty shape.

Heat skillet or BBQ grill to medium high heat.

Place patties on grill and cook for roughly 4-5 minutes per side.

To Assemble

While the patties are cooking, toast your buns under a grill until lightly golden brown, then set aside.

Once the patties are cooked, it is time to assemble your burgers.

Assemble the burgers by placing the lamb burger patties on the toasted bottom bun, topping with caramelised onions and evenly distributing the remaining feta amongst the burgers. Add other toppings as desired.
