Often when I am taking pictures for my Blog I am actually cooking dinner for my family. When these burgers were done my family was sitting patiently at the table waiting for them to be served. I quickly snapped a few pictures of the burger before handing them off and not realizing how strange the colors look on the blue plate. Ugh. By the time I realized it the burgers were long gone, so I apologize if they look a little off. I am not a chef with a commercial kitchen and a camera crew, I am just a woman with an iPhone sharing my favorite recipes.
Now let’s talk about this burger. It is so good! The prosciutto gets a wonderful crisp texture and the flavors are fantastic together. I used to use balsamic vinegar, but I have become a huge fan of balsamic glaze. If you have never tried it, I highly recommend getting some the next time you are at the grocery store. These burgers are very easy to make, and look and taste impressive.
Ingredients:
1 lb. ground lamb
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
1 tbsp. parsley
1 egg, beaten
2 tbsp. milk
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/4 lb. sliced prosciutto
1-2 tomatoes, sliced
Basil
Olive oil
Balsamic vinegar or glaze
Mix together the breadcrumbs, parsley, egg, milk, parmesan, salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl.
Add the ground lamb and mix well.
Shape into four burgers and wrap each with prosciutto.
Heat about 1 tbsp. of olive oil in a large frying pan. Add the burgers and cook for approx. 6-8 minutes on each side until cooked through.
Look how good that prosciutto looks!
Serve topped with slices of tomatoes and fresh basil. Drizzle with olive oil and either balsamic vinegar or balsamic glaze.
Delicious!
