Spicy Asian Lambburger
I love lamb burgers, but I figured the standard, run-of-the-mill lamburgers with tzatziki sauce in pitas was just not interesting enough.
This variation is a little spicy and has some asian flavors. Hope you like it!
- 6 minced garlic cloves
- 2 tbs + 1 tsp oyster sauce
- 1/2 minced jalapeño, remove the seeds if you want to cut some spice!
- 3 tbs chopped mint
- 2 tbs minced cilantro
- 1 small sweet onion, finely chopped
- juice of 1/2 lime
- 1.5 pounds ground lamb meat
Combine all the ingredients, mix with your hands (they’re the best tool, especially for burgers!). Form them into burger shape, and you should get about 8 from this recipe. These, like all burgers, are best on a charcoal grill but you can use a propane grill if you so desire. It might be a good idea to put some olive oil on the grates before you put these down though, cause they tend to stick. Forget regular storebought buns for these things. Get some rustic bread and slice it thick. Experiment with toppings; i’m not sure what tastes best yet. Enjoy!
