Because Beef is Boring

Madras Curry Lamb Burgers with Chipotle Grilled Corn

For the lamb burgers (makes 3):

-1lb ground lamb
-madras curry powder (most any other type of curry would likely work fine too)
-chopped fresh mint
-crushed fresh garlic
-salt and pepper

Mix together in a bowl and divide into 3 even burgers. Grill for ~7 minutes on a side (actually took a little longer than I expected). Toast buns. Serve with whatever you like on your burger.

For the corn:

-Several ears of corn
-1/2 stick of butter at room temp
-lime juice
-chopped canned chipotle peppers w/o seeds
-chopped cilantro
-salt and pepper

Combine everything but the corn in a medium bowl and mush together with the back of a spoon. Set aside.

"Clean" the corn. Pull back the husks leaving a few leaves attached to the stalk at the base. Remove the silk. With a knife or spoon "butter" the corn and then pull the husk back over the ears. Grill ~20 minutes turning 3 or 4 times. The kernels should pop easily with a fork and there should be a few char marks.

If you have leftover ears, strip the corn from the cob and use it to make a salad or something. Works great.
