Grilled lamb burgers

These are lamb burgers that can be cooked under the grill ,shallow fried or on the bbq. I make them adding spices giving them a middle eastern flavor , You can serve in a burger bun with frenchfries and coleslaw ,in a pitta bread pocket or as I did with salad and spicy basmati rice with a yogurt & tahini sauce. Either way its delicious 🙂

Ingredients :

• 500g minced lamb
• 1 large onion finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic crushed
• middle eastern spice mix (cumin,paprika,coriander,nutmeg,pepper,cardamom & cloves)
• salt and pepper.
• You can also add finely chopped parsley and mint to these burgers.

Method:

In a bowl combine the ingredients mixing them well ,kneading with your hands is better so you incorporate the ingrediendts well.

Heat grill to high when it is hot grill on each side for about 10 minutes until juices run clear .

Yogurt & tahini sauce.
For this sauce whisk together
2 tablespoons tahini paste,
