Ingredients
- 1 lb ground lamb
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoon minced red onion
- 1 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoon minced fresh mint
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
For toppings:
- 4 brioche hamburger buns
- 1 cup arugula
- ¼ cup tzatziki
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, egg, bread crumbs, red onion, garlic, mint, cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, turmeric and salt. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties. The patties should be about 3" in diameter and ½" thick.
- Place the lamb patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (an internal temperature of 160°F for medium).
- While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Assemble the burgers by placing each lamb patty on a toasted bun and adding your desired toppings.
Notes
1. Use a neutral oil like canola oil to oil the grill.
2. Avoid pressing down on your patties as they cook, this will press all the juices out of the burgers.
