Beautiful burgers, inspired by a cherished memory! Catrine writes, “In the early spring, as soon as the snow melted and the earth in the garden was workable, weekends were spent outdoors. Lunch and dinner were cooked on an open fire near the garden. No Weber, no charcoal, no hot dogs… just a wood fire pit with a large grate was my father’s barbecue. That is where he would grill fat Toulouse sausages and the wonderful merguez our friend Bernard, a fantastic charcutier, would provide for the shop. I’m still dreaming about those merguez and have been chasing that perfect taste for years. Grilled lamb burgers bring me back to those fond memories.”
