Long Weekends — Or Any Day — Were Made for Hoisin-Glazed Lamb Burgers
Five-spice, hoisin sauce, and quick pickled carrots and cucumbers turn this lamb burger sensational.
It’s reminiscent of a steamed clamshell bun folded over Peking duck — but done up burger-style with lamb instead.
How can that ever be bad?
Those sweet, savory, garlicky, addictive Asian flavors of hoisin sauce are what make this burger such a winner. That unmistakable Chinese condiment not only combines with five spice powder to flavor the ground lamb that makes up this burger, but gets slathered on the cooked patty for a final flourish. In a sense, hoisin sauce takes the place of ketchup. One taste, and you’ll never go back, too.
“Hoisin-Glazed Lamb Burgers” is from the new cookbook, “The Ultimate Burger: Plus DIY Condiments, Sides, and Boozy Milkshakes”
