Not a fan of lamb, but these burgers were surprisingly good. The pistachio-apricot relish was a great addition.

These burgers were amazing! The lamb was cooked perfectly and the pistachio-apricot relish was the perfect topping. I'll definitely be making these again.

The lamb burgers were a bit dry, but the pistachio-apricot relish was delicious. I would suggest using a fattier cut of lamb or adding some moisture to the burgers.

These lamb burgers were so juicy and flavorful. The pistachio-apricot relish was a great addition, adding a bit of sweetness and crunch. I would highly recommend this recipe.
