When it comes to burgers, most people think of beef, Lamb offers cooks a more complex and sophisticated flavor to work with. The sweet and savory sun-dried tomatoes and earthy mushrooms harmonize perfectly with the rich lamb. My favorite way to enjoy burgers is on top of grilled portobello mushrooms.

Sun-Dried Tomato and Mushroom Lamb Burgers

Serves 6
Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup/80 g sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 1/2 cup/40 g dried porcini mushrooms, chopped
• 2 lbs/900 g ground lamb
• 2 pieces bacon, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 onion, grated
• 1 tsp/3 g chili powder
• 2 tsp/10 g sea salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1/2 cup/20 g fresh parsley
• 1/4 cup/5 g fresh basil
• 1 jalapeño, minced
• 1 egg, lightly beaten

For the portobello mushrooms:

• 6 portobello mushrooms, stemmed (Use 12 mushrooms if you want two "buns" per burger)
• sea salt and pepper
• 2 tbsp/30 g butter, melted

Cooking Instructions:

1. Rehydrate sun-dried tomatoes by placing them in a bowl and covering them with warm water. Let them soak at room temperature for at least 45 minutes or until they feel flexible. Rehydrate dried mushrooms by placing them in a bowl and covering them with warm water for 30 to 45 minutes.
2. Preheat a grill over medium-high heat. Combine the sun-dried tomatoes, mushrooms, lamb, bacon, garlic, onion, chili powder, salt, pepper, parsley, basil, jalapeño and egg. Mix gently. Form into 6 patties.
3. Remove the stems from the portobello mushrooms. Generously salt and pepper them and liberally brush with melted butter. Grill burgers for about 4 minutes a side for medium burgers. Cook portobello mushrooms for 5 minutes per side or until heated through and tender.
4. Top each portobello mushroom with a burger and serve. Optionally, use two portobello mushrooms for each burger for two buns.

Che'f Tip: For an added flavor boost, top this burger with sautéed onions and sliced avocado.
