We needed a change. Fancy Kroger had lamb on sale. So lamb burgers just made sense. With yogurt dressing, they are light and flavorful. Great for summer. Adjust the spices and such to your taste. Try coriander or curry. Chop in peppers. Add more garlic. Make it your own.
1 tsp ground cardamon
1 tbl parsley
1 tsp cayenne (or to taste)
3 tbl minced garlic
1 large white onion, sliced
1 lemon (juice and zest)
5 oz greek yogurt
10-15 leaves mint, torn
Mix lamb, cumin, cardamon, parsley, cayenne, garlic and 1 tsp salt. Form small, flat patties. Cook over medium heat in a large skillet till done. Set aside, squeeze lemon over burgers. Turn heat to med-low. Add onion to pan, salt and cook till brown. Stir together yogurt, zest, mint and some salt. Serve burgers on pita or roll with yogurt and onions.
As a side, chop 1 cucumber. Add 1/2 pint cherry or plum tomatoes (or chop whatever tomato you have), 2 tbl white wine vinegar, fresh black pepper and some feta. Live the dream.
A spoonful of some earthy Israeli couscous with mushrooms wouldn't kill you either.
