Lamb Burgers With Green Harissa Recipe

Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.In a bowl, mix together ground lamb, cumin, coriander, garlic, salt, and pepper. Form the mixture into patties.
• STEP 2.Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the lamb patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness.
• STEP 3.While the patties are cooking, prepare the green harissa sauce. In a blender or food processor, combine cilantro, parsley, jalapenos, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.
• STEP 4.Once the lamb patties are cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Toast the burger buns on the grill for a minute or two.
• STEP 5.To assemble the burgers, spread a generous amount of the green harissa sauce on the bottom bun. Place a lamb patty on top, followed by your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomato, and onion. Top with the other half of the bun.
• STEP 6.Serve the lamb burgers with green harissa immediately. They can be enjoyed with a side of fries or a fresh salad.
• STEP 7.Store any leftover green harissa sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Cooking Tips

• For a spicier harissa sauce, add more jalapenos or leave the seeds in.
• If you don't have a grill or grill pan, you can also cook the lamb patties in a skillet over medium heat.
• Feel free to customize the toppings on your lamb burgers. Add cheese, pickles, or any other condiments you prefer.

Storage and Serving

• These lamb burgers are best served immediately while they are still hot and juicy.
• If you have any leftover lamb patties, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the lamb patties in a skillet or in the oven at a low temperature to prevent them from drying out.
