Heat 2 tsp. of
the olive oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add the
onion/shallot and saute for five minutes, stirring often, or until the
onion is golden. Remove from heat, add the garlic and mint, season with
salt and pepper and set aside.
Put the slice
of bread in food processor with a metal blade and pulse until you have
fresh crumbs. Transfer to a medium bowl along with the lamb, egg white
and onion mixture. Season with more salt and pepper and mix until
blended.
Divide the
meat into 4 pieces. Wrap each portion of the ground lamb mixture around
a piece of goat cheese and form it into a patty, sealing in the goat
cheese. (Note: recipe can be made in advance up to this point)
Heat the
remaining 1 tsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
Add the lamb patties and cook for 5 minutes, turning occasionally. Cover
the pan and cook for 5 more minutes, or until desired doneness. Burgers
can also be grilled; be sure to oil the grill before heating so the
burgers don't stick.
Serve the
burgers with a pickle!
