Ingredients
Preparation
-
For the burger buns
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
In a small bowl, combine the lukewarm water and yeast and let it sit for 5 minutes. Then add the oil, cider vinegar, and finally the beaten egg white.
In another bowl, combine the flour, almond flour, salt, and psyllium husk.
Mix together all the dry and wet ingredients until a smooth dough forms.
Let the dough rest for about 20 minutes.
Shape the dough into two small balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 20 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 180°C (350°F) and bake for another 10 minutes.
Let them cool before slicing them in half and assembling your burger.

For sweet potato fries
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into even sticks (about 1 cm thick). If they are too thick, they will remain mushy; if they are too thin, they will burn.
Soak the sticks in cold water for 30 minutes. This removes the surface starch. Then dry them very thoroughly with a clean cloth. This step is optional but recommended.
Place the dry fries in a large bowl. Add the oil and spices (except the salt), then mix again with your hands.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Spread the fries out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Don't overcrowd the sheet! The fries shouldn't be touching. If they're piled up, they'll steam instead of roasting.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
Turn off the oven and leave the door ajar for 5 minutes. This helps the crust to harden.

For the burger
Cook your minced steak. After turning it over, add a slice of sheep's cheese so that it melts.
Mash avocado on the sliced burger bun, add a cooked minced steak, with its melted cheese and some onions or pickles if you wish.
Serve the burger with lamb's lettuce salad and sweet potato fries.
