Method
Method:
Combine rosemary spice mix with ground lamb until uniformly incorporated. Mold into 4 patties, 5 1/2 ounces each, making them thicker than they are wide.
Brush patties with vegetable oil on both sides and grill about 6 minutes per side.
Top burgers with braised onions, bacon and Swiss cheese, then transfer to a 300°F oven for 1 minute to melt cheese.
For the Rosemary Spice Mix: Combine all ingredients and reserve.
For the Red Wine-Braised Onions: Melt butter in a sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté until lightly caramelized. Season with salt and white pepper, then add wine, vinegar and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 35 minutes or until liquid is nearly gone. Reserve.
For the Apple-Fennel Yogurt Remoulade: Combine yogurt, lemon juice, salt and white pepper. Add fennel, apple and tomato and toss lightly. Reserve, refrigerated.
To Serve: Toast rolls, then spoon remoulade on bottom halves. Top with burgers, arugula and top halves. Use toothpicks to hold burgers together and serve with parmesan steak fries.
