Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 20

Raita:
1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt (preferably Greek-style)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/4 teaspoons finely grated lime peel
Coarse kosher salt
Burgers and vegetables:
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 1/4 cups chopped onion
2 tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger
2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt, divided
2 teaspoons Madras curry powder
1 3/4 pounds ground lamb
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/2 teaspoons cracked black pepper, divided
3 medium zucchini (about 12 ounces), cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
6 green onions, trimmed
1 fresh poblano chile,* quartered, seeded
6 small naans (Indian flatbreads; about 6 inches long) or pita breads
1 large tomato, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • For raita:
  • Mix yogurt, mint, cilantro, and lime peel in small bowl. Season to taste with coarse salt and pepper. Cover; chill until cold, at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
  • For burgers and vegetables:
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt. Sauté until onion is tender, about 8 minutes. Mix in curry powder and stir 30 seconds. Remove from heat. Cool onion mixture to room temperature, at least 15 minutes.
  • Place lamb in large bowl. Add onion mixture, 1 teaspoon coarse salt, cilantro, and 1 teaspoon cracked pepper. Blend mixture gently; shape into six 1/2-inch-thick patties.
  • Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Combine zucchini, green onions, and chile in another large bowl. Add 2 tablespoons oil, 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1/2 teaspoon cracked pepper; toss to coat. Place vegetables and burgers on grill. Cook until grill marks appear, about 4 minutes. Turn vegetables and burgers over. Cook vegetables until tender, about 3 minutes. Cook burgers to desired doneness, about 4 minutes for medium-rare. Cut zucchini and green onions crosswise into 2-inch-long pieces. Cut chile into thin strips.
  • Place breads on plates; top with burgers and tomato slices. Mound vegetables on burgers; spoon dollop of raita over. Fold bread up around burgers and serve with remaining raita.
  • * Often called a pasilla; available at some supermarkets and at specialty foods stores and Latin markets.

These burgers were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best lamb burgers he's ever had. The grilled vegetables and mint raita were also very good. I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone who likes

These burgers were a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I would add some more moisture to the burgers next time, maybe by using ground lamb that has a higher fat content. The grilled vegetables and mint raita were also good.

These burgers were easy to make and turned out great. I used ground beef instead of lamb, and they were still delicious. The grilled vegetables and mint raita were also a nice touch. I'll definitely be making these again.

These burgers were a hit at my last barbecue! The lamb was juicy and flavorful, and the grilled vegetables added a nice smoky touch. The mint raita was the perfect complement, cooling and refreshing. I'll definitely be making these again.
