Carignan will raise your lamb burger game to a new level
This is one of my most requested recipes using a few very flavorful ingredients and you don’t need much more. This takes a little prep, but if you want to elevate your burger game, this is the way. Paired with a big brambly red wine like Carignan this is a show stopper.
Much like a lamb, Carignan has a flavor and character unto itself, but it’s more than this kindred spirit that makes it a pairing for this dish. Native to Spain but a prominent component of red blends in Southern France, it has also found a home in the hills of Sonoma, California. Bringing bright red fruits, dried herbs, and a kick of acidity, it’s the perfect wine to handle the rich, grassy flavors of the lamb and onion confit while complementing the spicy chutney and remoulade.
