Minted Lamb Burgers

These Minted Lamb Burgers are a fragrant and flavorful twist on classic burgers, infused with Moroccan spices and fresh mint. Perfectly grilled and served with a refreshing yogurt sauce, they offer a delightful taste of North Africa right from your BBQ grill.

Ingredients

• Ground lamb - 400 grams
• Fresh mint leaves - 30 grams, chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Coriander - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Greek yogurt - 100 grams
• Cucumber - 1/2, grated
• Fresh parsley - 1 tablespoon, chopped

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, chopped mint, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Divide the mixture into 2 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 2 cm thick.
3. In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, chopped parsley, and lemon juice. Season with salt to taste and set aside as a sauce.
4. Preheat your grill or BBQ to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
5. Grill the lamb patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness.
6. Remove the patties from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
7. Serve the minted lamb burgers with the yogurt sauce on top or on the side, along with your favorite gluten-free sides.
