Lamb Burgers

This lamb burger recipe was the best one I made when I bought a selection of lamb cuts from a CSA and got several one-pound packages of ground lamb. Top them with Dijon mayo, tomato slices, and baby greens.

Ingredients

• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pinch ground black pepper
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 pound ground lamb
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 4 thick slices tomato
• 4 hamburger buns, split and toasted
• 4 sprigs thyme, chopped
• 1 4-inch sprig rosemary, chopped
• 1 cup baby mixed salad greens

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Mix ground lamb, garlic powder, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl until thoroughly combined; shape into 4 patties.

Step 3

Place patties on the preheated grill and cook until firm and slightly pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Alternately, you can cook the patties to your desired degree of doneness. Rest patties while assembling toppings.

Step 4

Mix mayonnaise and mustard together in a small bowl. Spread 1 tablespoon on bottom of each hamburger bun; top each one with a lamb patty, tomato slice, and some greens. Sandwich with top bun to serve.
