🍔 How To Make Jamie Oliver Venison Burgers

Chop the white onion and sauté it in 1 tbsp of butter in a pan over low heat. Add the balsamic vinegar and 1 tsp of ketchup as the onion starts to soften. Continue cooking until the onions are fully caramelized. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, 1 tbsp ketchup, dijon mustard, and pickle juice to make the aioli. Whisk everything together and set aside.
Preheat the grill to 450°F (230°C). Grill the venison patties for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Add a slice of cheese on top of each patty and let it melt before removing from the grill.
Toast the pretzel buns on the grill for about 1 minute until they are lightly browned. Slice the tomato.
Assemble the burger by spreading aioli on each bun, then layer with a venison patty, caramelized onions, tomato slices, romaine lettuce leaves, and the top bun. Serve the burgers hot.

💭 Recipe Tips

Cook Onions Slowly: Cook onions on low heat until they’re sweet and soft. This makes them taste even better.
Check Patty Temperature: Grill patties until they reach 160°F (71°C) inside. This keeps them safe to eat.
Toast Your Buns: Toasting the pretzel buns makes them crispy and stops them from getting soggy.
Mix Flavors Well: Make sure the aioli and toppings go well together. A good mix of flavors makes the burger delicious.
