Ingredients

  • 1 bulb fennel (with fronds)
  • 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • 6 tbsp. mayo
  • 2 hot pickled cherry peppers, stems removed
  • 1lb. ground lamb
  • Black pepper
  • 2 cups baby arugula
  • 2 sesame burger buns, split and toasted
  • Potato chips, for serving

Directions

  1. Trim, core and quarter the fennel. Roughly chop 1/4 cup fronds. Thinly slice the fennel and combine with the red onion, fennel fronds, lemon juice and 1 tbsp. olive oil in a medium bowl. Toss and season with salt.

  2. Combine the mayo and cherry peppers in a mini food processor and puree until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

  3. Form the lamb into 4 thin patties. Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over high heat until very hot and add the remaining 1 tbsp. olive oil. Add the burgers and cook until well browned, about 2 minutes per side for medium.

  4. Add the arugula to the fennel salad and toss to combine. Serve the burgers on the buns; top with the mayo mixture and fennel salad. Serve with potato chips.
