Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80% lean)
- 0.5 lb ground lamb
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp paprika
- 0.25 tsp cinnamon
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp harissa paste
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 4 burger buns
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 4 slices sliced tomatoes
- 4 slices sliced red onion
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground lamb, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, cinnamon, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly with your hands until evenly combined.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about 1 inch thick.
Heat a grill or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil to the skillet if using, or lightly oil the grill grates.
Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove from heat and let them rest for a few minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, harissa paste, and lemon juice to make the spicy mayo. Adjust the harissa amount based on your spice preference.
Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in the skillet, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by spreading the spicy mayo on the bottom half of each bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, a burger patty, a slice of red onion, and the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Moroccan Burgers with Spicy Mayo!
