Lamb Jibarito Sandwich

I’m always looking for some type of substitution for the sandwich, since I’ve been Primal and this one is a great tasting alternative. Now because the bread is pan-fried, it’s not an everyday sandwich.

4 Servings

Ingredients:

Patty

• 1 lb Lamb, Ground
• 3 Garlic Cloves, minced
• 4 Fresh Basil Leaves, Julienne
• 1 tbsp Fresh Rosemary, chopped
• ½ tsp Fresh Thyme, chopped
• 2 Eggs
• 1 chili
• Salt & Pepper

• 2 Plantains
• 4 Tbsp Coconut Oil
• Salt & Pepper

• ½ Red Onion, sliced
• 1 Chipotle Pepper
• ¼ c Mayonnaise

Instructions:

1. Cut the plantains in half, then cut them in half again lengthwise.
2. Slice onions and set to the side.
3. Heat oil in a frying pan and sauté plantains until they are golden brown.
4. Remove and place on a cooling rack to allow for dripping of excessive oil.
5. Mix all patty ingredients and separate into 4 equal portions.
6. Place one cooked plantain at a time between two cutting boards and press to flatten to 1/4 inch thickness.
7. Place patties on a grill and cook to desired doneness.
8. While burgers are cooking return plantains back to frying pan for a second sear and season with salt & pepper.
9. Dice up chipotle pepper and mix with mayonnaise.

Construct sandwich: plantain, patty, red onions, Chipotle mayonnaise & plantain.

Enjoy!
