The video is a step-by-step guide to preparing a Mediterranean-style hamburger using lamb meat. The host, Oscar, starts by discussing his preference for lamb and explaining why it's a popular meat in the Mediterranean region. He then shows the process of trimming and chopping the lamb, removing excess fat and freezing it for later use.
Oscar emphasizes the importance of knowing exactly what you're grinding into your meat, explaining that buying ground beef is like buying raw sausage - only the person who made it knows what it contains. He recommends grinding your own meat to ensure you know what's in it.
The host then combines the lamb and British fat, explaining the importance of a specific meat-to-fat ratio for the best results. He also suggests adding a small amount of beef to reduce the strong flavor of lamb.
After grinding the meat, Oscar recommends letting it rest in the refrigerator to reach a cold temperature again. He then adds half a white onion, 6 to 9 cloves of garlic, and half a bunch of fresh parsley to the meat. He explains the importance of mixing all these ingredients well to give the hamburger a lot of flavor.
Oscar then adds the rested meat to the mixture and mixes it thoroughly. He doesn't add any additional ingredients like egg or flour before assembling the hamburgers.
To season the hamburgers, Oscar recommends a mixture of coriander and black pepper. He also suggests toasting these ingredients to enhance their flavor. He then puts everything in a pan over medium heat and mixes constantly to prevent it from burning.
After the flavors have enhanced, Oscar puts the mixture in a mortar or coffee grinder to turn it into a real seasoning powder. He recommends adding one and a half tablespoons of the even mixture of coriander and black pepper. He then adds salt all at once until the end.
Oscar then cooks the hamburgers on a grill, turning them every three to four minutes. He recommends resting the hamburgers for at least an hour before serving.
For accompaniment, Oscar suggests baked sweet potato fries and a yogurt-based sauce made with cucumber, garlic, mint, and lemon juice. He also recommends serving the hamburgers with bread slathered in extra butter, avocado, and lettuce.
Throughout the video, Oscar emphasizes the importance of using high-quality ingredients and taking the time to prepare your meals. He also encourages viewers to experiment with different flavors and ingredients to create their own unique dishes.
