Lamb burgers w/mint & parsley
If you enjoy the flavor of lamb, but you've never had a lamb burger before, this recipe is for you...
Ingredients:
-
2 lbs of ground lamb
-
4 T of finely chopped mint
-
4 T of finely chopped parsley
-
1 T extra virgin olive oil
-
1 small-medium red onion, finely diced
-
2 cloves of garlic, minced
-
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
-
1 tsp of ground coriander
-
1 tsp of sea salt
-
1/2 tsp of ground black pepper
Directions:
-
Heat a saute pan for a moment or two, then add a little cold extra virgin olive oil, and add the chopped onion and cook until lightly browned.
-
Then add the garlic and saute for ~ 1 minute...until fragrant.
-
Then add the spices - cumin and coriander - again just until fragrant.
-
Then add the onion and spice mixture to a large bowl.
-
Chop the mint, and parsley (FYI - I've noted 4 T but this is a rough gauge - I'm a huge fan so I add lots!). Then add the chopped herbs to your large bowl.
-
Add the ground lamb and mix to combine.
-
Use your hands to shape the burgers...this is a great job to give a child who is keen to help in the kitchen, provided they've got thoroughly washed hands of course!
-
Then you're ready to fire them on your grill.
I like to serve this in Spring with my magic mint sauce, asparagus, new potatoes, and a big salad.
