Grilled Lamb Burgers W/ Marinated Red Onions, Dill & Sliced image

DH and I made these tasty lamb burgers from the Grilling 2010 magazine a couple of nights ago. The recipe is credited to Tony Rosenfeld of "Big Guy Cooking." I really liked these burgers. DH liked them, but likes my Moroccan Lamb Burgers (also posted) better. The fresh dill in my garden wasn't looking so hot, so I subbed 1 Tb dried dill. This worked, but I'm sure the fresh would be even better. I would definitely make these again. Prep time includes 15 mins marinating time.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/4 lbs ground lamb
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 small garlic clove, minced, smashed to a paste
kosher salt, to taste
6 ounces feta, cut into 1/4-inch thick slices (about 8)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
4 whole wheat pita bread, warmed
1 tomatoes, 4 thin slices
1 English cucumber, 8 thin slices

Steps:

  • Prepare a medium charcoal or gas grill fire. Clean and oil the grill grates. Gently mix the lamb with the paprika, oregano, garlic, and 1 tsp salt. Shape it into four 1/2 inch thick patties.
  • On a large plate, lay out the slices of feta and sprinkle with the olive oil and 1 Tb of the dill.
  • In a small bowl, toss the onion with the vinegar, sugar, 1/2 tsp salt, and the remaining 1 Tb dill, and let sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Grill the burgers on one side until they have good grill marks, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until it has good grill marks, too, and the burgers are just light pink inside (make a nick with a paring knife), about 5 minutes for medium doneness.
  • Serve the burgers in the warmed pita with the feta, tomato, cucumber, and a heaping 1 tsp of pickled onions.

These lamb burgers were a bit too gamey for my taste, but the red onions and dill were a nice touch.

These lamb burgers were a hit at our last barbecue! The marinade for the red onions was especially tasty, and the dill added a nice fresh flavor. We'll definitely be making these again.
