Complexity Level: Easy
What You Need:
Burger
1 tsp Cumin
1 tsp Dried Oregano
1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 cup Plain breadcrumbs
1 Egg
1/2 tsp Crushed Red Pepper
Zest of 1 Lemon
Grilled Lemon Juicee* (slice 1 lemon for grilling)
Tatziki (optional)
1 Cucumber
8 oz. Plain Yogurt
2 cloves Garlic
3 tbsp Fresh Dill
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tsp Olive Oil
Pinch Salt
Pinch Black Pepper (light pinch)
Toppers
Mixed Greens
Olive Oil
Sea Salt
Tomato
Red Onion
Mix the burger ingredients together in a large bowl, then form into 3-4 patties. Chill at least 30 minutes to help the meat absorb the spices.
Next, Heat the grill. Grill each patty about 4-6 minutes on each side, or until desired done-ness. Let sit 5 minutes before serving.
Slice the Lemon and grill it alongside the burgers, as this will serve as a flavor enhance for the burgers when served.
To make Tatziki (preferred but optional) just add the ingredients to a food processor and pulsate to combine. This is awesome when spread on the bun for this burger. If not using it, I still recommend using a dab of mayo and sliced cucumbers. The cool cucumber matches the lamb and cumin in a wonderful, wonderful way!
I hope you enjoy!
Happy New Year and Cheers to Easy Good Eats!
