Juicy Lamb Burgers

A great burger is a juicy burger, and this one does not disappoint. Ground lamb (or ground beef) forms the base here, while blended onion helps ensure the meat stays moist. A handful of Mediterranean-inspired spices round out the flavors. Mix it all together, throw it on a grill or skillet, and you have yourself a winner. This is great with a smear of mayonnaise mixed with a hint of dried mint.

Burger
- 1 pound ground lamb (or a combination of lamb and beef, Note 1)
- 1/2 onion, diced (about 1/2 cup, Note 2)
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley
- 1 garlic clove(s)
- 1 teaspoon dried mint
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Place the onion, half of the parsley, and the garlic clove in the base of a food processor. Pulse a few times until a chunky pulp is formed. Note: If you don't have a food processor, grate the onion and finely chop the parsley and garlic. Add this to the meat in the next step.
- Step 2: Combine all burger ingredients, including the onion mixture and all remaining spices and parsley. Mix until just combined, don’t over handle the meat. Shape into burgers.
- Step 3: Cook the burgers on a grill until desired doneness is reached. For stovetop, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the burgers and cook undisturbed for about 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached.
- Serve: Enjoy your burger as is, or load it up on a bun with your favorite toppings.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: Use a combination of 1/2 ground lamb and 1/2 ground beef, if you are not sure about an all-lamb burger. These can also be made entirely with beef instead. Note 2: If you don't have a food processor, grate the onion rather than dicing it.
