This lamb Burger recipe with a touch of chocolate and homemade ketchup is the first of Jonathan (my husband and personal chef) recipes that I've ever posted. While Jonathan is best known on this site for taking the beautiful food photos in each of my posts, he is just as (if not more) comfortable in the kitchen as I am. I bake. He boils.
The main reason I haven't one of Jonathan the recipes placed is that Jonathan recipes cannot be used. He is the type of chef who never the same thing twice is because he doesn't remember what he did. He throws just things on the stove and like magic, he conjures up a gourmet meal. I am a lucky gal!
A: I posted my recipe polenta but doesn't tell you exhibit
went about what in the meat tomato sauce.
That was because Jonathan created
the meat sauce with no written recipe.
Last year, when I was preparing my entry for the Scharffen Berger Chocolate adventure Contest, I encouraged Jonathan to create an entry also. For the chance of ten thousand dollars I thought he could write down recipe. As it turned out, I have written the recipe down-after him around the kitchen and copious notes while he cooked.
The Lamb Burger recipe didn't win (my black Thai cupcakes or not), but the good news for you and me is that the Lamb Burger recipe is now registered for us to enjoy and time!
