LAMB BURGERS



Lamb Burgers image

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.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound ground lamb
1 4-inch sprig rosemary, chopped
4 sprigs thyme, chopped
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 pinch salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
4 hamburger buns, split and toasted
4 thick slices tomato
1 cup baby mixed salad greens

Steps:

  • Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Thoroughly mix ground lamb, rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper together in a bowl; shape into 4 patties.
  • Cook the burgers until they are beginning to firm and are hot and slightly pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Alternately, you can cook the burgers to your desired degree of doneness. Rest burgers while assembling toppings.
  • Mix mayonnaise and mustard together in a small bowl; spread 1 tablespoon of the mixture onto one side of each bun. Put a burger onto each bun and top with tomato and greens. Sandwich with remaining bun half to serve.

Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian

Categories     appetizer

Time 10h

Yield 9 sliders

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 1/2 pounds ground lamb
1/4 cup minced shallot
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 clove garlic, grated
1 cup plain Greek yogurt, strained
1/2 cup grated cucumber
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint
2 teaspoons lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 9-count package pretzel slider buns, preferably King's Hawaiian, warmed or lightly toasted
Green leaf lettuce, for garnish
1/4 cup crumbled feta
Pickled Onions, recipe follows
1 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon pickling spice
1 red onion, sliced thinly into rings

Steps:

  • Form the lamb sliders: In a large bowl, add the lamb, shallots, mint, parsley, salt, pepper, cumin, paprika and garlic. Gently combine, making sure not to overmix. Divide the mixture into 9 equal portions. Using a ring mold about 3 inches in diameter, press each portion into the mold to form a slider, or just form the patties with your hands. Transfer the patties to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the patties for about 30 minutes.
  • Make the tzatziki: In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt, cucumber, dill, mint, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Refrigerate until serving time.
  • Cook the lamb sliders: Heat a grill pan or grill to high heat and cook the slider patties, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the patties, then sprinkle with salt and pepper and continue to grill until cooked through (130 to 135 degrees F), another 2 to 3 minutes.
  • To serve: Top the bun bottoms with lettuce, tzatziki and feta. Top the bun tops with the tzatziki and Pickled Onions. Place the slider patties on the bun bottoms. Place the tops of the buns on the sliders and serve.
  • Combine the vinegar, sugar, salt, pickling spice and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add the onions to the pan and stir to combine. Bring back to a simmer, then turn off the heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Transfer to a resealable container and refrigerate overnight or up to 2 weeks.

SAVORY GRILLED LAMB BURGERS



SAVORY GRILLED LAMB BURGERS image

Categories     Sandwich     Lamb     Fourth of July     Picnic     Low Fat     Quick & Easy     Backyard BBQ     Grill/Barbecue     Healthy     Potluck

Yield 8-12 Persons

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 lbs ground lamb
2 eggs, beaten
5 large cloves fresh garlic, minced
1/3 cup Canola or Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3 tbsp Bragg's Liquid Aminos (or soy sauce)
3 tbsp Bragg's Nutritional Yeast Seasoning
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tbsp Italian Herb Mix
2 tbsp Mural of Flavor (Penzy's Spices)
1 tbsp Arizona Dreaming (Penzy's)
1 tsp Chipolte powder
1/2 tsp Northwoods Fire seasoning (Penzy's)
1 tbsp Chili 9000 (Penzy's)
2 tbsp smoked Paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
1-2 tbsp dried jalapeno pepper flakes (optional)
Aluminum foil
NOTE: Spices and seasonings can be substituted to your preferences. Using preblended Penzy's Spices saves time and requires fewer spices to be stored.

Steps:

  • - Place smoking chips (Cherry, Apple, or Almond) into a bowl of warm water and set aside. NOTE: Hickory and Mesquite chips are too strong and will overpower the flavors of the burgers. - Place ground lamb in a large mixing bowl. - In a small bowl, combine all the dry spices and seasonings. - To the lamb, add the eggs, garlic, oil, and liquid aminos. Mix well with hands (food preparation gloves are recommended). - Add the dry spices and seasonings, and mix them well into the lamb. - Form into patties, yielding approximately 8 patties. (Smaller patties yields 10-12.) - Place the wood chips in the grill's tray, or in your own wood chip container placed directly on the grill. - Spray oil on the grill or cast-iron grill plates, then close the grill cover and preheat to 200 to 250. - When the oil stops smoking and the wood chips are smoking, place the burgers on the grill or grill plates and grill approximately 5-7 minutes each side, turning only once. (If you prefer them rarer, then grill them less time.) NOTE: Never press on burgers with a spatula or other tool. Doing so squeezes the juice out and results in a dry, mealy burger. - Remove burgers from grill, place on a serving dish, and cover tightly with aluminum foil for about five minutes. (This cooks the center without drying the burgers out.) Serve with or without buns.

GRILLED LAMB AND FETA BURGERS



Grilled Lamb and Feta Burgers image

Provided by Claire Robinson

Time 43m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 pounds ground lamb
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/2 pound feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/3 cup fresh parsley leaves, coarsely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
4 to 6 rolls or buns
Easy Tzatziki, recipe follows
1 cup Greek whole milk yogurt
1 English cucumber, seeded, finely grated and drained
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 teaspoon lemon zest plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine the lamb, garlic, feta, allspice, parsley, salt and pepper, making sure not to overwork the mixture. Form the lamb mixture into 4 to 6 patties.
  • Heat a grill pan over moderately-high heat and cook the lamb burgers until a nice crust forms, about 4 minutes. Turn the burgers over and let cook another 4 minutes. Let the burgers rest 10 minutes. Serve topped with Easy Tzatziki on a roll or bun.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, cucumber, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice and dill. Season with salt and pepper. Chill.
  • What Really Makes This Recipe Sing: Allspice is one of those secret weapons in savory foods. You can't put your finger on it, but you know it is there. It was named by the English, because they thought it contained cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Shh, it is also the secret ingredient in Cincinnati-style chili.
  • What to toss in if you have it: Feel free to add some chopped fresh mint to this as well. Having a cocktail party? BYOC and makes these into mini's. Grab one before you serve because they will disappear fast.

Grilled Lamb Burgers with Yogurt-Feta Sauce image

Parsley can be so much more than a garnish! Here, it adds fresh flavor to each component of these Greek-inspired lamb burgers: the patties, the yogurt-feta sauce, and the chopped tomato salad.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Lamb Recipes

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 bunch flat-leaf parsley
1 1/4 pounds ground lamb
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
4 ounces feta, drained and crumbled (3/4 cup)
7 ounces plain Greek yogurt (3/4 cup)
1 tomato (about 7 ounces), cored and coarsely chopped
4 brioche buns, preferably seeded, split
Rosemary Shoestring Fries, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat grill to medium-high. Pluck parsley leaves and tender upper stems, discarding tough lower stems. Chop half of parsley (you should have about 1/2 cup packed). Gently fold half of chopped parsley into lamb just until evenly combined (do not overmix, or patties will be tough). Form into 4 patties slightly wider than buns, each about 1/2 inch thick. Season generously with salt and pepper; brush with oil.
  • Stir together cheese, yogurt, and remaining 1/4 cup chopped parsley; season with salt and pepper. In another bowl, stir together tomato, whole parsley leaves and tender stems, and oil; season with salt.
  • Brush grates with oil and grill patties, flipping once, until charred in places and cooked to desired doneness, 5 to 7 minutes for medium-rare; 9 to 11 minutes for medium. Transfer to a plate and let stand a few minutes. Meanwhile, grill split sides of buns just until charred in places, about 30 seconds.
  • Divide patties, yogurt-feta sauce, and tomato salad evenly among buns. Serve immediately, with fries.
