WHO ARE THE ORGANIC BUTCHERY?
Starting life as an organic farm in the heart of the West Country, The Organic Butchery is proudly founded on a long history of organic principles. We source the best quality organic grass-fed and wild meats, sustainable fish and organic free-range poultry from trusted local suppliers and like-minded brands to guarantee the highest standards of animal welfare and environmental stewardship. Our mission is to approach butchery with a whole-carcass perspective, to make the most of every animal that crosses our blocks, which means we offer you cuts that you will never see on the supermarket shelves.
WHAT IS SUSTAINABLE GOAT?
Goat really complements our philosophy of sustainable farming. It yields truly remarkable meat that would otherwise get wasted. Whilst female (nanny) goats are reared for replacements in a goat dairy herd, male (billy) goats are surplus to requirements.
Ingredients
For The Burger
- 600g/1lb 5oz goat mince
- 1⁄2 red onion - grated
- 1 garlic clove - crushed (optional)
- 2 teaspoons Urfa chilli flakes (or use Aleppo)
- generous pinch of ground cinnamon
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cumin
- generous pinch of dried mint
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
For The Onions
- 1⁄2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- Juice of 1 lemon
- small bunch of flatleaf parsley, leaves roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
To Assemble
- 4 slices of halloumi, sliced into 8 x 1cm/1⁄2in pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 burger-sized lettuce leaves
- 8 tablespoons tzatziki
- 4 brioche buns, halved and toasted 4 ripe tomatoes, sliced
Method
- In a large bowl, combine the minced meat with the grated onion, garlic, if using, spices, dried mint and salt. Mix very well to combine, kneading a little. Divide the mixture into 4 and shape each into a burger about 1cm/1⁄2in wider than the brioche buns, with the edges of the burger slightly thicker than the middle. Set aside for at least 30 minutes, to allow the flavours to mingle.
- Combine the sliced red onion with the salt and lemon juice and set aside.
- Mix the salted sliced onion with the parsley and olive oil.
- When ready to cook, fry the halloumi in the olive oil for about 30 seconds each side, until golden brown and crispy (you can also grill the halloumi). Remove and set aside.
- Add the burgers to the hot pan and fry for about 5 minutes on each side, until crisp on the outside and just cooked in the middle.
- Build each burger with a lettuce leaf, 2 tablespoons tzatziki, then a burger, 2 pieces of halloumi, some onion and parsley salad, and some sliced tomato.
