Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 cup mayonnaise
1/8 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons pesto
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 pounds ground goat meat
Seasoned salt
1 tablespoon butter
1 onion, diced
6 slices mozzarella
6 hamburger buns, preferably 5-inch diameter
2 medium tomatoes, sliced thickly

Steps:

Mix mayonnaise, vinegar, pesto and cumin in a mixing bowl and set aside.
Heat griddle or grill to high heat.
Form meat into 6 patties, then sprinkle with seasoned salt and place on grill. Sear until brown, about 2 minutes, then flip and repeat for other side. Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking until desired temperature is reached.
Heat butter in skillet on medium heat and add onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and a golden-brown color.
Place mozzarella on patties and let it melt. (It can help to put the cheese on a minute or two before the meat is totally cooked, to keep the moisture in and not overcook the meat.)
Add the onion on top of the cheese and place patties on bottom buns. Top with liberal amount of sauce, 3 tomato slices and the bun tops.
Serve while hot.

BEET, RICE AND GOAT CHEESE BURGERS

Beet, Rice and Goat Cheese Burgers image

For some reason these pink burgers tasted better to me after they'd sat for a day in the refrigerator. So make them ahead for quick meals through the week and reheat in a medium oven or a frying pan.

Ingredients

2 cups cooked brown or white rice
1 cup finely diced or grated roasted beets
1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs, like a mixture of parsley and dill
1 15-ounce can white beans, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 egg
2 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or canola oil, as needed

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Combine the rice, beets and herbs in a large bowl.
Purée the beans with the lemon juice and egg in a food processor fitted with the steel blade or with a fork. Scrape into the bowl with the rice and beets. Add the goat cheese, salt and pepper, and mix the ingredients together.
Moisten your hands and form 6 patties.
Working in batches, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil at a time in a heavy ovenproof skillet and brown the patties on one side for 2 minutes. Turn over onto the other side and place in the oven for 10 minutes. Serve with or without buns, ketchup and the works.

GRILLED HAMBURGERS WITH GOAT CHEESE

Grilled Hamburgers with Goat Cheese image

If your grill is large enough, you can cook everything at once. Give the hamburgers about a two-minute head start so that everything is ready to come off the grill at the same time.

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

3 pounds lean ground chuck
1 tablespoon each finely chopped fresh thyme, oregano, rosemary, and flat-leaf parsley
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 large tomatoes, thickly sliced
2 large onions, thickly sliced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
5 ounces fresh goat cheese, sliced into 6 equal portions
1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
1 head red or white endive, thinly sliced crosswise

Steps:

Heat grill to medium. In a large bowl, place ground chuck and herbs. Season with salt and pepper. Using your hands, mix ingredients together until combined. Form into 6 patties; set aside.
Brush the tomato and onion slices with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Grill the tomato and onion slices until slightly charred on both sides (onion should be tender), 4 to 6 minutes for tomatoes and 6 to 8 minutes for onions. Remove from the grill, and keep warm.
Grill hamburger patties, 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. When they have reached desired doneness, place cheese on top of each patty. Grill until cheese is slightly melted.
To serve, stack slices of onion and tomato on a serving platter with romaine and endive. Place hamburgers on top.
