Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 oz Ground lamb
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 tsp Ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp Ground coriander
- 0.25 tsp Smoked paprika
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 tsp Lemon juice
- 1 tsp Fresh mint leaves (chopped)
- 1 Burger bun (toasted)
- 2 Lettuce leaves
- 2 Tomato slices
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine ground lamb, grated ginger, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined but do not overmix.
Form the mixture into a patty that is slightly larger than the burger bun, as it will shrink during cooking.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, place the lamb patty in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on one side until browned.
Flip the burger and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for medium doneness.
While the burger cooks, prepare the yogurt sauce by mixing Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and chopped mint leaves in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt if desired.
Toast the burger bun lightly in the same skillet or on a toaster if preferred.
Assemble the burger by placing lettuce and tomato slices on the bottom half of the bun. Top with the lamb patty, a generous dollop of the yogurt sauce, and the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Ginger Spice Lamb Burger!
