GOAT CHEESE-STUFFED LAMB BURGERS WITH CARAMELIZED RED ONIONS

Steps:

• Make the onions:
• In a 3-quart saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and salt, toss to combine, and cover. Cook for 20 minutes, stirring several times to ensure that the onion does not stick to the pan. Add the beer, stir, cover, and cook for 10 minutes. If the onion is deeply caramelized and the liquid has mostly evaporated, it's perfection. If not, cook for a few minutes more. Set aside.
• Make the burgers:
• In a large bowl, combine the lamb, garlic, smoked paprika, cayenne, and mint. Mix well. Set aside 4 tablespoons of the lamb mixture and divide the remaining lamb into four equal portions. Shape them into patties slightly larger than the width of the burger bun. Using your thumb, make a well in the center of each patty, going halfway through the lamb.
• Divide the goat cheese into four portions and place them in the thumb divots. Flatten each tablespoon of reserved burger mixture into a disc and place on top of the goat cheese. Pinch the edges to encase the cheese in the lamb. Season both sides of each patty with salt and pepper.
• In a large skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat. Fry the burgers for 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium doneness.
• Place the burgers on the buns and top each with 1 tablespoon mayo, some caramelized onions, bacon, and 1/4 cup arugula.

MAPLE & CHILLI-GLAZED LEG OF LAMB

Steps:

• Lay the butterflied lamb leg on a board and use a sharp knife to prick about 20 holes all over the skin side. Press the rosemary sprigs deep into the holes, then season all over.
• To make the glaze, tip all of the ingredients into a small saucepan, reserving a few sliced chillies, and bring to the boil. Stir to combine, then remove from the heat and set aside. Light the barbecue. It's ready when the coals are ashen and you can hold your hand 5cm above the grill for at least 5 seconds.
• Lay the lamb skin-side down on the grill and cook for 10 mins. Turn over using tongs and cook for 10 mins more. Repeat this two more times for 5 mins on each side so the lamb cooks for a total of 30 mins. Baste with the glaze, turn the lamb again and keep basting for another 10 mins until deep brown and sticky. Remove to a board, cover loosely and leave to rest for 20 mins. Carve into thin slices to serve, then scatter over the reserved sliced chillies.
