Inside Out Lamb Cheeseburgers Recipes

Steps:

• Start a charcoal or wood fire or preheat a gas grill. Or, on a stove top, heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat for 3 or 4 minutes.
• Put meat and some salt and pepper in a food processor, in batches if necessary, and pulse until coarsely ground: finer than chopped, but not much. Taste and adjust seasoning. (If desired, cook a teaspoon of meat in a pan before tasting.) Divide meat into 4 sections and shape each one around a piece of cheese, enclosing it fully.
• Cook over moderately hot fire: you will be able to hold your hand 3 or 4 inches over rack for a few seconds. Grill burgers about 4 minutes a side for medium-rare, and until cheese begins to melt. (Timing on stove top is the same.)
• Serve on buns, toast or hard rolls, garnished as you like.

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium heat.
• Mix meat and 2 Tbsp. dressing; shape into 8 thin patties. Combine remaining dressing and bacon. Spoon onto centers of 4 patties; top with Singles quarters and remaining patties. Pinch edges together to seal.
• Grill 7 to 9 min. on each side or until burgers are done (160°F).
• Fill buns with lettuce, burgers and tomatoes.

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high.
• Combine Cheddar and Mozzarella (or Gruyère) in a small bowl.
• Gently mix beef, Worcestershire, paprika, ground pepper and Montreal steak spices in a large bowl, preferably with your hands, without overworking.
• Shape into 8 thin, 4-inch-wide patties.
• Mound 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture on each of the 4 patties, leaving a 1/2 inch border.
• Cover each with one of the remaining patties. Crimp and seal the edges closed.
• To grill: lightly oil the grill rack. Grill the stuffed patties over medium-high heat, about 4 minutes per side for medium-well (be sure not to press the burgers as they cook or they'll split open and the cheese will ooze out).

Steps:

• Coat a large saute pan with olive oil, toss in the diced onions and season with salt and crushed red pepper. Bring the pan to medium-high heat and cook the onions for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 2 to 4 more minutes. Turn the heat off and let cool.
• In a large bowl, combine the lamb, the cooled onion mixture, the dill, mint, oregano, lemon zest and 1/2 to 3/4 cup water. Sprinkle with salt and combine well. Make a little "tester patty," cook it and taste for seasoning.
• Preheat the grill.
• Form the lamb mixture into 4 equal patties and sprinkle with salt. Grill the burgers to your desired doneness, 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove the burgers from the grill and let rest for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Cut the Whole-Wheat Pitas in half. Schmear each half generously with the Pickled Feta Spread. Top one half with a burger, then tomatoes, sliced onions and spinach. Place the other pita half on top.
• In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar and yeast and let sit for 15 minutes.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flours, cumin, salt and cayenne. Add the yeast mixture and the olive oil. Mix on medium speed to combine and knead the dough. It should take 6 to 7 minutes. The dough will be firm and not sticky or tacky.
• Place the dough in a lightly oiled mixing bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll into 7-inch rounds (1/4-inch thick). Divide the dough between 2 sheet trays, cover them loosely with a clean tea towel or plastic wrap and let rest for 20 minutes.
• Bake the pitas for 3 to 4 minutes, then turn the pitas over and bake for 2 more minutes. Let cool and use as desired.
• Place the vinegar, sugar, salt, tea bags, bay leaf and herb stems, if using, in a small saucepan along with 1 cup water. Heat until the sugar and salt has dissolved. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• Place the feta in a small container. Add the vinegar mixture and be sure that the feta is submerged in the liquid. Let sit for a couple of hours outside the refrigerator if using right away, or in the refrigerator if using in the future.
• Strain the feta from the pickling liquid and discard the tea bags, bay leaf and stems. Place the feta in a food processor and add the yogurt. Pulse until combined.

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium heat.
• Mix meat and mustard just until blended; shape into 8 (1/4-inch-thick) patties. Stack 2 cheese pieces on center of each of 4 patties; top with remaining patties. Pinch edges together to seal.
• Grill 6 to 8 min. on each side or until done (160ºF). Meanwhile, grill rolls, cut sides down, 1 min. or until lightly toasted.
• Place lettuce on bottom halves of rolls; top with burgers and remaining ingredients. Cover with tops of rolls.

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high or preheat broiler.
• Combine cheeses & set aside.
• Using hands, mix meat , sauces, & spices in a large bowl. Shape into 8 thin patties. Pile about 2 tablespoons of cheese on 4 patties, leaving 1/2" clear edges. Layer another pattie on top. Press edges together to seal cheese inside.
• Spray paper towl with cooking spray & wipe on grill.
• To grill: Grill patties over medium-high heat, 4-6 minutes per side (till cooked through) then remove from heat & let stand 5 minutes before serving.
