Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 0.5 cup blue cheese, crumbled
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 hamburger buns
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- optional toppings (lettuce, tomato, onion, etc.)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, crumbled blue cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the burgers tough.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1 inch thick.
Using your thumb, make a slight indentation in the center of each patty. This helps the burgers cook evenly and prevents them from puffing up in the middle.
Brush each patty lightly with olive oil on both sides to keep them from sticking to the grill or pan.
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat. If using a grill, lightly oil the grates.
Cook the lamb burgers for 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving them to achieve a good sear. Flip the burgers and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F for medium doneness.
While the burgers are cooking, toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a dry skillet until golden brown.
Assemble the burgers by placing the cooked lamb patties on the bottom buns. Add your desired toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, or additional blue cheese crumbles.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately. Enjoy your flavorful Blue Cheese Lamb Burgers!
