Latin spiced lamb burgers are a delicious and unique twist on the classic hamburger. They are perfect for a summer cookout or a casual weeknight meal. The key to this recipe is the Latin spice blend, which gives the burgers a smoky, savory flavor. You can find Latin spice blends at most grocery stores, or you can make your own by combining chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Once you have the spice blend, you simply mix it with ground lamb, form the mixture into patties, and cook them in a skillet or on a grill. Serve the burgers on buns with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, and cheese.

MEDITERRANEAN LAMB BURGERS
These burgers are juicy and full of flavor. Even people who don't really like lamb have enjoyed these burgers. You can double the recipe and freeze half of the patties in wax paper to eat at a later time. Fine to place on the grill frozen (just add to the cooking time).

I bought a selection of lamb cuts from a CSA and got several one-pound packages of ground lamb. I made the last one tonight, and it was the best of all. Top them with Dijon mayo, tomato slices, and baby greens.

LATIN-SPICED LAMB BURGERS
Steps:
- Toast the pepper, coriander and cumin together in a dry pan over low heat until they crackle and pop (shake the pan constantly). Their color should be light brown, and spices should smell like toast, popcorn, smoky, etc. Pour them straight into a coffee grinder and blend the seeds to a fine powder. Add the lamb to a medium bowl and stir in all of the spices, the garlic and salt. Combine well. Form the lamb mixture into 6 even patties.
- Open the dried peppers and shake out the seeds (a few seeds left in is ok). Add the peppers to a saucepan with the water, and boil over medium heat until only 1/4 cup of liquid remains at the bottom. Add the peppers (with cooking liquid), sour cream, oil, garlic and lime to a blender, and blend it until very smooth. Add the salt and blend again. Pour in enough cream to thin the mixture to a saucy consistency. Pulse a few times to incorporate and get squirtable consistency.
- Grill the lamb patties and the ciabatta until nice, dark grill marks are everywhere (lamb is at its juiciest around medium-rare). Put about 1 teaspoon of the sauce on each side of the bun. Slice the patties in half to lay lengthwise on the bread. Crumble the Cotija cheese over the top. Dress Add the onion, tomato slices and lettuce. Cut sandwich lengthwise (along the seam of the lamb patty) and plate with the cross-section facing outward.
MOROCCAN-SPICED LAMB BURGERS
Had these delcious burgers for lunch today. DH and I both thought they tasted like something we could be eating at our favorite Middle Eastern restaurant. The pita bread, yogurt, and tomato topping was really delicious with the spiced lamb. From Williams-Sonoma "Essentials of Grilling."

Steps:
- In a bowl, combine the lamb, onion, bread crumbs, mint, garlic, cumin, coriander, 3/4 tsp salt, and the cayenne. Using your hands, mix gently but thoroughly. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form each into an oval patty about 4 1/2 inches long and about 3/4 inch thick.
- In a small bowl, stir together the tomato and cilantro and season with salt. Let the patties and the tomato mixture stand at room temperature for 15 minutes, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours. If refrigerated, remove from the refrigerator 15 minutes before grilling.
- Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for direct grilling over high heat.
- Grill the burgers over the hottest part of a charcoal fire or directly over the heat elements of a gas grill, turning once, until nicely charred and cooked to your liking, 5-6 minutes per side for medium. About 1 minute before the burgers are done, place the pita breads along the edges of a charcoal grill where the heat is less intense, or on an area of a gas grill with lower heat, so they can warm.
- To assemble the sandwiches, coat the pockets of the pita breads lightly with some of the yogurt, then slip a lamb burger into each bread. Add the tomato mixture, sprouts, and the remaining yogurt, or serve these condiments on the side.
SPICED LAMB BURGERS
This recipe came from a revelation in the '70s, when my friend Semeon Tsalbins introduced me to the lamb burger. It is ground lamb - shoulder is best - highly seasoned and grilled rare. Because lamb is the most full-flavored of the everyday meats, it makes a more delicious plain burger than beef. Cooked with nothing but salt, it's fantastic. Cooked with a variety of spices, as it is here, it's a game-changer. You can also stuff the burger, as Mr. Tsalbins does on occasion, with smoked mozzarella.

Steps:
- 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.
- 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.
- Garnish with diced mango, green and red pepper, red onion and scallion, and with shredded carrot and lettuce.

SPICED LAMB BURGER WITH TZATZIKI
This recipe is another very easy and super quick meal to make that tastes great and is budget friendly.It is on the table in about 30 Min's. I served these on bagels last night but serve with what ever bread you fancy I usually serve mine on Turkish bread but I couldn't get any yesterday. I list 250g of tzatziki as this is the weight of the store bought brand that I buy. Sometimes I do have leftovers, but it does keep in the fridge and you can use the leftovers to dip vegetables in for a nice healthy light lunch the next day. Note: Sumac: A purple-red astringent spice ground from berries growing in the Mediterranean; adds a tart, lemony flavour to food.

Tips for Making Latin-Spiced Lamb Burgers
- Choose high-quality lamb: Look for ground lamb labeled "ground shoulder" or "ground leg of lamb" for the best flavor and texture.
- Don't overmix the meat: Overmixing the meat will make the burgers tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Season the meat well: The spices in this recipe are essential for giving the burgers their Latin flavor. Don't be afraid to add more or less seasoning to taste.
- Form the burgers gently: Handle the meat gently when forming the burgers. Overworking the meat will make the burgers tough.
- Cook the burgers over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the burgers while keeping the inside juicy.
- Don't overcook the burgers: Lamb burgers are best cooked to medium-rare or medium. Overcooking will dry out the meat.
- Let the burgers rest before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful burger.
