Ingredients
4 burgers
"Hot Tomato" Jam
Patties
Step 1
1. Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high.
Step 2
Taste and add the remaining pepper sauce to taste. Continue cooking until the mixture reaches a jam-like consistency, and then remove from the heat and set aside to cool. Stir the basil into the cooled mixture and season to taste with salt. Set aside.
Step 3
2. To make the jam, combine the tomatoes, sugar, ginger, vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper sauce in a flame-proof nonreactive saucepan. Place the pan on the grill rack and bring the mixture to a slow simmer. Continue simmering, stirring occasionally and moving on and off the heat as necessary, until the mixture is reduced by half, about 30 minutes.
Step 4
Move the pan to the coolest part of the rack and continue to cook for another 15 minutes.
Step 5
3. To make the patties, combine the lamb, peppercorn blend, garlic, sesame oil, and Merlot in a large bowl and season with salt. Handling the meat as little as possible to avoid compacting it, mix well. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form the portions into patties to fit the buns.
Step 6
4. Brush the grill rack with olive oil. Place the patties on the rack, cover, and cook, turning once, until done to preference, about 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. During the last few minutes of cooking, place the buns, cut side down, on the outer edges of the rack to toast lightly.
Step 7
5. To assemble the burgers, spread the cut sides of the buns with the tomato jam. On each bun bottom, place a lettuce leaf and a patty. Add the bun tops and serve.

Back to TopDidn't make the jam, but the burger part was amazing. We ate it with avocado, mustard, onion, and mayo. The burger part was really easy and very flavorful and tasty. Picky hubby said it was great.

No grill so I did this all on the range. Used the immersion blender briefly to render the "jam". Basically the "hot tomato" jam is a twist on homemade ketchup. Burgers are VERY peppery. I thought this was good but not exceptional. With all the great lamb burger recipes out there, I probably will not go out of my way to make this again.

Very good recipe. I just added the ginger, rice vinegar and pepper sauce to homemade tomato jam. Everything worked well to create an easy, week day meal.

This is truly an amazing way to eat ground lamb. Brings out the flavor of the lamb without masking it. I added a tablespoon of shallots to the lamb mixture and doubled the garlic. Instead of the tomato jam, we used pepper jam that we had on hand plus topped the burger with goat cheese. Delicious!

The Hot Tomato Jam is the star of this recipe. It takes at least an hour to reduce, not the 40 minutes in the recipe, but it is worth the effort. The lamb burgers are juicy but if you add too much merlot or sesame oil they lose their shape. I get rave reviews whenever I make this recipe, even from those who are scared of lamb.
