Directions
-
Preheat grill to medium-high heat according to manufacturer's instructions.
-
In a medium bowl, gently combine the ground veal, beaten egg, bread crumbs, prepared horseradish, minced red bell pepper, and salt. Mix lightly but thoroughly until just combined; do not overwork the meat.
-
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty approximately 1/2 inch thick.
-
Lightly brush both sides of the thick onion slices with olive oil.
-
Place the veal patties on the grill. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the centers are no longer pink and the meat is cooked through.
-
Meanwhile, place the oiled onion slices on the grill. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, turning once, until tender and lightly charred.
-
Prepare the Horseradish-Mustard Sauce by combining 1/4 cup prepared horseradish, 2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard, and 2 tablespoons honey in a small bowl. Stir well to mix.
-
Place one lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each crusty roll.
-
Top the lettuce with a grilled veal patty, followed by a grilled onion slice.
-
Add a dollop of the Horseradish-Mustard Sauce on top of the burger.
-
Close the sandwich with the top half of the roll. Serve immediately, passing remaining sauce on the side if desired.
