Lamb Burger Patty — Herbed, Juicy, Home Batch
Lamb Burger Patty — Herbed, Juicy, Home Batch
Story
Born from a late-night craving with my friend John—two unapologetic lamb lovers. We hacked a home patty that night, then I refined it for service: gentle onion, bright whisper of vinegar, 1.8% salt, cold rest. It still tastes like that first “we-need-lamb-now” burger—just cleaner and restaurant-ready. 🐑🔥
Description
This is the patty I reach for when I want lamb to taste like lamb: minimal onion (well-drained), simple herbs, and 1.8 percent salt for structure. Mix just until it holds, rest it cold so it sets, then sear hard and finish to temp. Calm, confident, repeatable.
