The brioche buns with the buttery bibb lettuce go so well together, cut by the salty burger and the spicy but creamy goat cheese! This one is a real winner…
Lamb Burgers w/ Spicy Fries
Ingredients
For burger:
- 2 pounds ground lamb I ordered mine online from American Lamb
- 1/2 tablespoon butter
- 5 ounces softened goat cheese
- About 1 tablespoon of harissa paste more if you want it spicier!
- Bibb lettuce
- Kosher salt
- Black pepper
- 4 brioche buns
For french fries:
- 1 bag frozen french fries
- Paprika
- Chili powder
- Kosher salt
- Black pepper
Instructions
-
Cook french fries according to packaging. While fries are in the oven, form four patties from the ground lamb (1/2 pound each). Season liberally each side with salt and pepper. Heat a cast iron skillet on medium-high heat. Add butter to skillet. Cook burgers on each side for about 4 minutes for medium rare.
-
While burgers are cooking, mix the harissa paste into the goat cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
When fries are finished, place them in a large mixing bowl and season with salt, pepper, and about 3 parts paprika and 1 part chili powder, to taste. Mix the seasoning around so that it evenly covers all the fries. You can use a wooden spoon or just toss the bowl using both hands, flipping the fries slightly with each toss.
-
Let burgers rest for 1-2 minutes before serving. Place on the bun and then top with goat cheese and bibb lettuce
