Rockin Hero Burger

How to make Rockin Hero Burger Recipe - A classically trained chef with his own catering company, Brett Eanes was always intrigued by the concept of food trucks. "I decided I’m going to take a classic, and I’m going to have fun with this," he says. "If I get twenty people in line, or if I get two hundred people in line, I’m going to have a ball." The Rockin’ Hero is Brett at his most playful, turning a burger into a Mediterranean mouthful. Inspired by his love of gyros, this lamb burger was the one that put his truck on the map. Mix’d Up Food Truck Recipe From Brett Eanes

MAKES 3 BURGERS

LAMB PATTIES:
1 lb (453g) fresh ground lamb
1 clove garlic, minced
2 oz (57g) dried mint leaves
1 oz (28g) fresh rosemary, finely chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

TZATZIKI SAUCE:
1 lb (454g) English cucumbers, peeled and seeded
1 1/2 cups (360g) plain Greek yogurt
3 tbsp (45ml) extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbsp (3g) chopped fresh dill
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tbsp (15g) fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt (or more to taste)
Oil, for sautƩing
6 slices ciabatta bread
3 to 6 pieces lettuce
3 to 6 slices tomato
3 tbsp (45g) crumbled feta

Method:
To make the lamb patties, in a large bowl, combine the lamb, garlic, mint leaves, rosemary and salt and pepper until incorporated. Be careful not to overwork the meat. Wrap in an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 8 hours prior to cooking.

To make the tzatziki sauce, add the cucumbers to a food processor and finely mince, then strain through cheesecloth to remove all the liquid. In a bowl, combine the strained cucumber, Greek yogurt, olive oil, dill, garlic, lemon juice and salt.

Mix well, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

In a pan over medium to high heat, add a touch of oil and the lamb patties and cook to the desired doneness. Panfrying is recommended because chargrilling will mask the aromatics of this fine burger.

Lay 3 slices of the bread on a work surface. Place a burger on each, then top each with a spoonful of tzatziki, 1 or 2 pieces of lettuce, 1 or 2 slices of tomato and 1 tablespoon (15g) of the crumbled feta. Place the remaining slices of bread on top.
