The juicy game ground meat harmonizes perfectly with the spicy pesto and creamy mozzarella. Preparation is super easy and quick with the Thermomix®.

About this recipe

This game burger with ramson pesto is my homage to spring and the hunting tradition of my family. Even as a child, I accompanied my father and grandfather on the hunt and learned to appreciate the value and quality of game meat. The combination of the strong game taste and the fresh, spicy ramson is simply unbeatable. The red deer ground meat forms the basis for this burger. It is lean, high in protein and has an intense, slightly wild taste. When buying, make sure you get a good quality and it is best to ask the hunter you trust. The mozzarella provides a creamy texture and slightly softens the spiciness of the ramson pesto. The smoked wild boar bacon brings a smoky note and additional seasoning into play. The ramson pesto is the heart of this burger. The ramson, also known as "wild garlic", has an intense garlic aroma, but is milder and fresher than that of conventional garlic. The roasted sunflower seeds give the pesto a nutty note and provide a pleasant texture. The Parmesan contributes umami and binds the flavors. The zest and a splash of juice from the organic orange bring a fruity freshness into play and harmonize wonderfully with the game taste. When preparing in the Thermomix®, it is important not to mix the ramson for too long, as it can otherwise become bitter. Make sure that the pesto does not become too liquid. Therefore, add the olive oil only gradually until the desired consistency is reached. The roasted sunflower seeds should be cooled before mixing so that they do not heat the pesto. For a vegetarian option, you can replace the game ground meat with a mixture of fried mushrooms (e.g. king oyster mushrooms, button mushrooms) and lentils. Instead of wild boar bacon, you can use smoked tofu. For a vegan version, replace the mozzarella with a vegan cheese alternative and the Parmesan in the pesto with nutritional yeast. Serve the game burger with ramson pesto on a fresh burger bun. Fries, sweet potato fries or a crunchy salad go well with it. If you like, you can garnish the burger with arugula, lamb's lettuce or sprouts. A glass of cold beer or a dry red wine rounds off the taste experience. The ramson pesto can be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container for a few days. You can also freeze it in portions. You can prepare the game ground meat patties the day before and store them in the refrigerator. This saves you time when preparing.
