Ground Goat Burger
I was recently shopping at my local halal grocery store and bought ground goat with the intention of making burgers. I eat lamb burgers all the time and wanted to try something new, but also similar. To me, goat is like a cross between beef and lamb, flavor wise. I seasoned the goat with fresh garlic, salt, pepper, and ground fennel. Since goat is very lean, I recommend cooking your burgers ever so slightly pink. I personally like my ground meat cooked all the way through and it was still considerably juicy. I made my burger with toppings that you’d put on a gyro. Absolutely delicious and just as good as any other burger you’ve ever eaten.
