Herb Lamb Burger Recipe

Author: This Worthey Life

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds of ground lamb
  • 2 1/2 tbsps of finely minced onions
  • 2 tbsps olive oil
  • 2 tbsps chopped parsley
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tsp fresh oregano leaves
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 /2 tsp garam masala
  • 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black peppercorns

Instructions

  • Add the ground lamb to a large mixing bowl, and add finely minced onions, olive oil, chopped herbs, smoked paprika, sea salt, ground cumin, garam masala, and freshly cracked black peppercorns. Mix well.
  • Measure out four ounces portion of the ground lamb and work them into a ball. Place the ball of lamb into the palm of your hand, and using the other palm, press the meat until it is flat, about a half-inch thickness. Work until you have as many burgers as the mixture will make; this should make about 5-6 burgers. 
  • Place a skillet over medium-high heat and add two tablespoons of canola oil. When the oil is hot, add the burger patties, two or three at a time, depending on how big your skillet is. Cook four minutes per side until your get an internal temperature of 145°F. FYI. Regarding lamb burgers, lamb burgers should never be served rare.
  • Serve on a toasted Ball Park Burger bun; I love using blue cheese dressing and topping the lamb burger with both grilled onions and thinly sliced red onions, a fresh tomato slice, and topped with a wedge of melted manchego cheese.
