Harissa Lamb Burger

The Harissa Lamb Burger is a flavorful and spicy twist on traditional burgers, infused with aromatic Lebanese spices and served with fresh toppings. This dairy-free delight is perfect for a summer grill or a cozy dinner.

Ingredients

• Ground lamb - 400 grams
• Harissa paste - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Burger buns - 2, preferably whole grain
• Tomato - 1, sliced
• Cucumber - 1/2, sliced
• Red onion - 1/2, thinly sliced
• Lettuce - 2 leaves

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the ground lamb, harissa paste, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, about 2 cm thick.
3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the lamb patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
4. While the patties are cooking, prepare the burger buns by toasting them lightly on a separate pan or in a toaster.
5. Assemble the burgers by placing a lamb patty on each bun, followed by slices of tomato, cucumber, red onion, and a lettuce leaf.
6. Serve immediately with your favorite side or dipping sauce.
