Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Lamb Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds ground lamb
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons Madras curry powder
2 cups Greek yogurt
1 English cucumber, peeled, seeded, and chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 medium vine-ripened tomatoes, chopped
1 cup packed parsley leaves
1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 individual pitas or 4 regular pitas

Steps:

  • Preheat the outdoor grill or indoor grill pan.
  • In a bowl combine lamb, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, and curry powder. Form into 8 3-inch by 2-inch oblong patties. Set aside to come to room temperature.
  • Meanwhile, make the tzatziki sauce and parsley salad.
  • For the tzatziki sauce: In a medium bowl combine yogurt, cucumber, mint, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and lemon zest and juice. Set aside.
  • For the parsley salad: In a medium bowl combine tomato, parsley, red onion, and olive oil. Set aside.
  • When the burgers have come to room temperature and the grill is hot, grill the burgers to desired doneness, about 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Stuff burgers, tzatziki sauce, and parsley salad into pitas and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right lamb: Look for ground lamb that is fresh and has a good fat content, around 20%. This will help to keep the burgers moist and flavorful.
  • Season the lamb well: Don't be afraid to use a generous amount of spices and herbs to season the lamb. This will help to give the burgers a delicious flavor.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat: This will help to prevent the burgers from drying out. Cook the burgers for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
  • Make the tzatziki sauce ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld together. The sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance.
  • Serve the burgers with your favorite toppings: Some popular options include lettuce, tomato, onion, and feta cheese.

Conclusion:

Lamburgers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. With their juicy lamb patties and creamy tzatziki sauce, these burgers are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
