Description

These juicy lamb burgers are filled with goat cheese, roasted garlic, fresh rosemary, chipotle chiles and glazed with maple syrup. Serve on ciabbatta bread with a side of oven roasted potato wedges with italian herbs and pesto aioli.

Ingredients
  • 1 head garlic
  • 1 pound ground lamb
  • 6 ounces soft goat cheese
  • 6 tablespoons minced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 2 sprigs chopped fresh rosemary
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 4 ciabatta buns, split and toasted
Directions
  1. 1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Cut the top off of the head of garlic, and place onto a small, oven safe dish.
  2. 2. Bake the garlic in the preheated oven until the cloves are soft and golden brown, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven, and cool. Once cool enough to handle, squeeze the roasted garlic into a mixing bowl. Add the lamb, goat cheese, chipotle peppers, rosemary, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, salt, and pepper; mix well. Form the mixture into 4 patties.
  3. 3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb patties for 1 minute on each side, then reduce the heat to medium-low, and continue cooking to your desired degree of doneness, about 2 minutes per side for medium-well. About 1 minute before the patties are ready, pour in the remaining 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and allow it to thicken and glaze the burgers. Serve on toasted ciabatta buns.
