Now that is a burger!
Salad on the bottom, cheese and bacon on top.

OK, lamb burger day. I actually made up the lamb mix yesterday, incorporating some finely chopped onion and garlic, ground cumin, oregano, paprika and cayenne pepper, and fresh mint and parsley. Overnight in the fridge, with the flavours could meld together.

This morning, used some rings that I have for crumpet making to form the patties. Did it on wax paper and cut around the rings when done and back into the fridge.

Time to make some Tzatziki.

Peeled and grated the cucumber, sprinkled it with salt to remove as much water as possible.

Minced some cloves of garlic, and added it to some olive oil and white wine vinegar.

Gave the cucumber a squeeze in some muslin cloth, then added to the garlic mix.

Added the yoghurt and chopped fresh mint and dill.

Made up a Greek salad, chopped tomatoes, sliced red onion, pitted black olives, oregano, olive oil and crumbled feta cheese. Had no cucumber to put in as used all in the tzatziki.

Thought about going for some air fried chips, but opted for roasting some small chunks of potato that had been tossed in a mix of olive oil, tomato puree and paprika.

Time to griddle the burger......

Quite thick so about 5 or 6 minutes each side.

While the patty was resting, toasted one of the buns I made the other day.

Potatoes look good and smell great.

There we have it. I started the stack with some iceberg lettuce topped with some very thinly sliced red onion and beef tomato, then the lamb, topped with a good dollop of tzatziki. The burger was really enough on its own without the sides. Flavours very much as I'd anticipated though.

^ Looks delicious PAG!
Coincidentally I've been busy gathering all the ingredients together for our gourmet lamb burgers with sweet potato fries tonight, but after your post I think I'll keep them to myself.

Put a bit of effort in next time, eh PAG. :D
Minced lamb can be quite pricey. Especially if it's to sell as you want to keep your prices as low as possible but still aim for 100% profit on a dish. Good photogenic presentation helps.Quote:

And then you know it's all shoulder instead of throats and assholes.
Are those mincing machines (hand crank) worth it?

I started out with the same basic ingredients as PAG so how come he ended up with wonderful burgers and I ended up with shite?
In Norway I often go to this gourmet burger place and the burgers always come with these fancy sweet potato fries. Theirs are always crispy and orange, mine were yellow with the texture of boiled slugs.

It didn't help that my mum called right at the critical moment, but anyway, this American food has joined lasagne and canelloni as food I will never bother to make but pay for outside. McDonalds can give me a burger in 3 minutes... this mess took me over an hour and a half to make.

Never again. I'm gonna stick with what I know. There is nothing worse than having an 11 year-old daughter trying to make you feel better and showing pity after being served up with a meal like this.
"The burger wasn't too bad dad but the chips were weird", "Nan did call at a bad time", "Why don't you microwave it?", "You don't usually make burgers, dad".
What a great kid she is!

With no sweet potato fries.

And a watermelon, banana, orange and lime smoothie to keep things healthy.

That looks good, Mendy! Making burgers is not that hard, don't overthink it.
^^Have you got a flip top head? :)
