CURRY-MASALA LAMB BURGERS WITH YOGURT SAUCE

This sounds so good, so I'm putting it here for safe keeping. I got it from Erin's Kitchen Blog, so I hope she doesn't mind. I can't wait to try it! In her recipe she used a medium handful each of cilantro and mint, so I've guessed it about 1/3 of a cup, and a squeeze of lemon juice was estimated at about 3 tbs. since Zaar won't allow handfuls and squeezes as measurements.

CURRY-SPICED LAMB BURGERS

Categories Sandwich Lamb Dinner

Yield 4 Burgers

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds boneless lamb shoulder, cut into chunks
1 medium (or 1/2 large) onion, peeled and cut into chunks
1 fresh chili, preferably jalapeño, seeded and minced
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Diced mango, green and red pepper, red onion and scallion; and shredded carrot and lettuce, to garnish (optional).

Steps:

1. If grilling or broiling, heat should be medium-high and rack about 4 inches from fire. Put lamb and onion into a food processor (in batches if your machine is small) and pulse until coarsely ground. Put in a bowl with chili, coriander, cumin and turmeric, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Mix, handling the meat as little as possible, until combined. Taste and adjust seasonings. Handling meat as lightly as possible to avoid compressing it, shape it into 4 or more burgers. 2. To broil or grill, cook about 3 minutes on each side for rare and another minute per side for each increasing stage of doneness. For stovetop, heat a large skillet over medium heat for 2 or 3 minutes, then add patties; cook, undisturbed, for about 2 minutes, then rotate them so they brown evenly. Turn once and cook for a total of about 6 minutes for rare. 3. Garnish with diced mango, green and red pepper, red onion and scallion, and with shredded carrot and lettuce.

Tips:

Choose high-quality lamb: Opt for ground lamb that's fresh and has a good fat content (around 20%). This will ensure juicy and flavorful burgers.
Use aromatic spices: Curry powder is the star of this recipe, but you can also add other spices like cumin, coriander, and garam masala for extra flavor.
Don't overwork the meat: Mix the lamb gently just until the ingredients are combined. Overworking the meat can make the burgers tough.
Shape the burgers gently: Use your hands to gently shape the lamb mixture into patties. Avoid pressing down too hard, as this can also make the burgers tough.
Cook the burgers over medium heat: This will help prevent the burgers from burning on the outside while remaining raw on the inside.
Let the burgers rest before serving: Allow the burgers to rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful burger.

Conclusion:

These curry lamb burgers are a delicious and unique twist on the classic burger. With their aromatic spices and tender, juicy texture, they're sure to be a hit at your next cookout or dinner party. Serve them with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese, and enjoy!
