Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 0.5 medium, finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon, chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon, chopped fresh mint
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 8 leaves large lettuce leaves
- 1 sliced ripe avocado
- 1 sliced tomato
- 0.5 small, sliced red onion
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb with finely chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped mint, sea salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients gently with your hands until well combined. Be careful not to overwork the meat, as this can lead to tougher burgers.
Divide the lamb mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the lamb patties to the skillet.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
While the lamb patties are cooking, prepare the lettuce leaves, avocado slices, tomato slices, and red onion slices.
Once the lamb patties are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a minute.
To assemble the burgers, place a lamb patty on a large lettuce leaf, top with a few slices of avocado, tomato, and red onion.
Top with another lettuce leaf, if desired, and repeat with the remaining patties.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Paleo-friendly lamb burgers.
