Onion and Pepper Stacked Sheep Burgers
Burgers are easy to make and they always taste great when served up outdoors. Not to mention, they are truly adaptable. You can add variations of condiments and toppings like I do in my Onion and Pepper Stacked Sheep Burger recipe.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs ground desert sheep
- 1 large shallot, finely diced

- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander

Fried Onion Rings and Peppers

- 1 cup white flour
- 1 cup water
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2/3 cup vegetable oil
Avocado Mayo Spread
- 1 whole avocado
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
Instructions
Fried Onion Rings and Peppers
- In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, water, paprika and garlic powder. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the oil. Working in batches, dip the onion ringlettes and Anaheim pepper halves in the batter and add to the skillet. Fry until golden brown. Remove and drain on a paper towel. Season with salt if desired.
Avocado Mayo Spread
- In a bowl, mash the avocado and combine with the mayonnaise blending until smooth.
Sheep Burgers
- Pre-heat an outdoor grill.
- Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and melt the butter. Add the shallots and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- In a bowl, combine the ground sheep, shallots, cumin, coriander and salt. Shape into 4 equally sized patties.
- Set the patties on the grill grates for about 5-6 minutes per side. Top each one with a slice of white cheddar cheese, fried onion rings and an Anaheim pepper. Continue grilling until cheese is melted.
- Set the brioche buns on the grill grate until toasted.
- Build your burger and enjoy.
