This veal curry burger has all the flavor and color of Indian spices thanks to the delicious Madras curry sauce.
That of the curry burger is a simple recipe to make and of great effect, to be personalized with your favorite curry spice blend. I have always loved Madras curry, a mixture based on turmeric, coriander, cumin, fenugreek, paprika, pepper, mustard seeds, chilli, ginger, fennel seeds, garlic and cardamom.
I like to make the sauce with Greek yogurt, to make it creamy and light. But if you want to try a variant of Greek yogurt, I invite you to taste mine curry mayonnaise.
You can also use different types of meat for your burger, from chicken to beef, through lamb or turkey. I wanted to use the veal burger from the veal of Casa Vercelli.
This product is obtained only from the meat of fine calves, born, raised and selected in Italy, this minced meat is tasty and versatile, suitable for many recipes. It is digestible, has very little fat and a high content of proteins and amino acids.

ingredients for 2 curry burgers
WHAT
2 burger bun
150 g of Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon of Madras curry (or your favorite curry)
50 ml of olive oil
2 veal burgers
1 red onion
1 teaspoon of sweet paprika
extra virgin olive oil to taste
mixed salad to taste
a bunch of coriander
half a lime
HOW TO PREPARE THE CURRY BURGER
First, I peeled the red onion and cut it into wedges. I placed it on a baking sheet covered with baking paper, sprinkled with seed oil, sprinkled with paprika and seasoned with salt and pepper. I baked for 25 minutes in a hot oven at 200 degrees.
In the meantime, I cooked the 2 veal burgers without seasoning on a very hot grill pan for 8 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking.
Meanwhile, I mixed the curry spice mixture with the oil and Greek yogurt until the mixture was smooth and homogeneous.
Finally, I dressed the salad with oil, chopped coriander, lime juice, salt and pepper. If you don't like fresh coriander you can replace it with simple parsley
Everything is ready to whip up our curry burger: bread, curry sauce, veal burger, baked onions and lime salad.

ingredients for 2 people
WHAT
150 g of peeled red lentils
3 carrots
1 clove of garlic
half a shallot
1 cm of fresh ginger
spices to taste (paprika, turmeric, cumin or mix)
1 orange (red or blonde)
2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
500 ml of vegetable broth
4 slices of raw ham
aromatic herbs to taste
Salt and Pepper To Taste
HOW TO PREPARE THE RED LENTILS CREAM
I sliced the shallot and sautéed it in oil in a non-stick pan, with crushed garlic and peeled and chopped ginger. After having seasoned with salt and pepper and sprinkled with a mix of spices, I added the red lentils, toasting them for a few minutes. I combined the carrots, peeled and grated, and I blended with the juice of half an orange. Then, once the mixture has dried, I lowered the heat and covered with the vegetable broth, letting it simmer for at least 20 minutes, until the lentils are cooked and the carrots are soft. At this point I added the juice of the leftover half orange, mixed and turned off the flame.
With an immersion blender I reduced everything to cream (you can remove the garlic if you prefer), adjusting the consistency, if necessary, with hot water or other broth.
In the meantime, on a very hot grill pan, I spread the 4 slices of ham and I plate them until they are brown and crunchy.
I served my red lentil soup with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, aromatic herbs to taste, the crispy ham and a few slices of orange.

IN THE GLASS, OR IN THE MOUTH
I chose to combine this recipe with the Filos of Toladolsa, an IPA beer born from the collaboration between Veroni Salumi and Lambrate Brewery.
In Emilia, there is a dialectal way of speaking that tells the essence and philosophy of Birrificio Lambrate beers. “Tola Dolsa” in fact literally means “take it sweet”, calmly, enjoying life as it comes. And with Toladolsa we can “take it” sweet with 3 different beers, Ragasola / pils, Sdora / weiss and Filos / ipa.
In particular, Filos, which in Emilian means meeting, chatting, is a high fermentation light craft beer, American Ipa style, refreshing and hoppy but with enough malt to make it balanced. With a golden color and a fruity taste with a strong and pleasant bitterness, it surprises with the citrus and tropical notes, typical of American hops. Perfect to recall the orange aroma of the lentil cream.
You can find them all here, on the Veroni Salumi shop. In my recipe of meatballs with beer and of skewers of chicken and speck find the other two.
