TIP OF THE DAY: Greek Lamb Burger
|
Whether you prefer classic condiments and traditional toppings or would rather go the adventurous route, the hamburger lends itself to many interpretations (see our long list of burger variations for every day of the month, and then some).
At Chicago’s Hubbard Inn, Executive Chef Bob Zrenner makes it even more adventurous. He substitutes lamb for beef, creating a Greek-style lamb burger. Chef Zrenner uses ground lamb from locally raised animals, and tops the patty with mint, cucumber, red onion and feta cheese. He topped the burger with tzatziki, a yogurt sauce, instead of ketchup. There’s juiciness from the lamb, creaminess from the feta and tzatziki, bright notes from the mint, and zesty red onion as a counterpoint to cool cucumber. |
