Ingredients (Serves 6)

• 2.5 lbs ground rabbit
• 1/2 lb ground pork fat (20% addition)
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp garlic powder, onion powder
• 2 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper
• 6 brioche buns

Herb Aioli:

• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp fresh herbs (basil, parsley, chives)
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• Salt and pepper to taste

Burger Perfection Method

1. Proper Fat Integration: Gently mix the ground rabbit with pork fat. Handle the mixture as little as possible - overworking creates tough burgers.

2. Aioli Preparation: Whisk together mayonnaise with fresh herbs, garlic, and lemon until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

3. Cooking Technique: Grill over medium-high heat without pressing down with a spatula - that just squeezes out all the flavorful juices.

4. Assembly: Toast the buns lightly. Build your burgers with fresh greens and a generous spread of that herb aioli.
