Authentic Venetian-Style Veal and Shrimp Burger from Michel Guérard

Ingredients:
  • 220 g roughly defatted and denervated veal
  • 140 g fresh prawn meat
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 egg white
  • 30 g 0% fat yogurt
  • 15 g grated ginger
  • 5 g chopped fresh coriander
  • salt and pepper
Preparation:
  • 1 hour chilling time
  • Prep time: 20 minutes

Preparing the Burgers

Dice the veal and prawn meat into 5 mm cubes.

In a bowl, whisk the egg white lightly and combine with yogurt, grated ginger, and chopped coriander. Fold in the diced veal and prawns, mixing gently with a fork. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Line your work surface with squares of parchment paper. Place ring molds on the paper and fill with the veal-prawn mixture. Press lightly with the back of a spoon to shape. Refrigerate for 1 hour to firm up.

Cooking

Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Carefully transfer each molded burger to the pan using a spatula, removing the ring mold and parchment first.

Cook for 2 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.

Serve immediately on hot plates for the best flavor and texture.
