Minted Lamb Burgers Recipes

Steps:

• Seed and chop cucumber. In a small bowl stir together cucumber, yogurt, 2 tablespoons mint, and salt and pepper to taste. In a large bowl blend together lamb, cumin, remaining 2 tablespoons mint, and salt and pepper to taste. Form mixture into four 1-inch-thick patties. When forming patties, handle meat as little as possible for a juicier burger.
• Prepare grill.
• Grill burgers on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals about 4 1/2 minutes on each side for well-done. (Alternatively, burgers may be cooked in a hot well-seasoned cast-iron skillet or ridged grill pan.)
• Toast pita loaves and split horizontally. Transfer burgers to pitas and top with cucumber mixture, eggplant, and romaine.

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to medium.
• Add the mint, black olives, red onion and bread crumbs to a food processor. Pulse until well blended. In a large bowl, combine the olive mixture with the meat. Using your hands, mold the meat mixture into 6 burger patties and place on a hot, oiled grill. Grill the burgers for about 7 minutes per side for medium-rare.
• Toast the buns on the grill and build the burgers on a toasted bun with a little Cucumber Chile Salad. if desired. Serve.
• Add shallots, cucumber, garlic, ginger and chiles to a bowl and follow with rice vinegar. Toss to coat and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Yield: 6 servings

Steps:

• Mix the lamb, grated onion and herbs in a bowl with some seasoning, then divide the mix into 4 and shape into burgers.
• Heat a griddle pan until hot, rub the burgers with oil, and cook for 5-6 mins on each side, or until cooked through.
• Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise and beetroot with some seasoning. Fill the bread rolls with some watercress, a burger, a dollop of beetroot mayo and a few onion slices. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Make up your burgers from the minced lamb and season with salt pepper and the rosmary then leave out somewhere cool (not cold) for about 15 minutes

• Slice half of your tomato and finely chop into similar sized sqaures and place these in the bowl.
• Crush the garlic into the bowl (ensure there are no visible chunks of garlic).
• Drizzle the mixture with olive oil (at most a tablespoon) then add about a tablespoon and a half of the mint sauce and mix until everything is covered in the mint finally sprinkle some dried herbs and rosmary on top and mix again.
• At this point place the lamb burgers into a pre-heated pan with a little olive oil.
• When the burgers are cooked to about 95% of your liking add the mixture to the pan and heat for about 3 minutes.
• Place the mixture on the plate and serve the burgers on top!
