Lamb meat is not only juicier than beef, it is less fatty and tender too! One of the best ways to enjoy lamb is to turn it into lamb burgers. In today’s post, we are giving you 3 lamb burger recipes to surprise the whole family with:

1. Classic Lamb Burger

You will need:

2 lbs. lean ground lamb
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 medium sized Spanish onion, diced
½ cup parsley, chopped.

Directions:

In a clean mixing bowl, combine ground lamb with garlic powder, salt, pepper, onion, and fresh parsley. You can also add an egg to bind the ingredients together. Mix all the ingredients by hand for a minute or two then get a handful and turn it into a patty.

Place the patties on a broiler rack and broil the burgers 8 to 10 minutes on each side. Serve hot in a bun and enjoy!

2. Rosemary Lamb Burger

You will need:

2 garlic cloves, chopped
4 teaspoon finely chopped rosemary needles
1kg lean lamb mince

For serving:

Ciabatta rolls
Mayonnaise
3 red onions, sliced
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoon olive oil
2 medium sized tomatoes, sliced

Directions:

Using a mortar and pestle, crush garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper into a thick paste. In a large bowl, mix the rosemary paste with the ground lamb by hand for a minute or two. Do not overwork the meat so it remains tender and juicy.

Get a dollop of the lamb meat and turn it into a patty. You can cook the patties using a grill or a barbeque. Cook the patties for 8 to 10 minutes, turning frequently for even char.

On a small bowl, mix balsamic vinegar with tomatoes, onions and olive oil then set aside. Split the Ciabatta rolls into two then lightly toast. Spread mayo on each side of the roll then add the burgers. Now add the balsamic onions and tomatoes and serve.
