Ingredients for the burgers:
- 1 1/2 pounds of ground lamb
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 medium yellow onion, peeled
- A handful of bread crumbs, plain
- 1 small red chili pepper, seeded and minced
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 teaspoons of ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of allspice
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 red onion, peeled and sliced thinly (garnish)
- 1/2 small red cabbage, shredded (garnish)
- 4 large soft pitas
Ingredients for the yogurt dressing:
- 1 cup of Greek yogurt
- 1 large clove of garlic, peeled
- 1/4 cup of mint leaves, minced
Make the lamb burgers:
Put your ground lamb in a bowl and grate the yellow onion directly on it. Also add your spices (cinnamon, cumin, allspice), chili pepper, salt and pepper, plus the egg and bread crumbs. Mix thoroughly in order to completely combine the flavors.
Once mixed, form them lamb meat into patties.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the patties on the skillet and cook for about 10 minutes. Turn the patties only once. Set aside when cooked.
Make the yogurt dressing and serve:
Put the yogurt in a small bowl. Grate the garlic with a zester and add to the yogurt. Now sprinkle in the mint and stir.
Cook the pitas until they are soft brown and put the patties in. Dress your burger with your mint and garlic yogurt on top. Add the shredded cabbage and sliced red onion.
You can also serve the yogurt on the side and allow your guest to determine how much dressing to put in.
Ingredients:
- a pound of ground bison meat
- 1 bell pepper, chopped roughly
- 1/2 small to medium white onion, chopped roughly (separate a quarter for later use)
- 1/2 small to medium red onion, chopped roughly (separate a quarter for later use)
- 1 egg
- 1 jalapeño pepper with seeds
- 1/2 cup of bread crumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red paper flakes
- Olive oil
- Salt & pepper
- Sliced cheese
- BBQ Sauce
- Kaiser rolls or other soft rolls
Instructions:
Mix the bison meat, onions, bell peppers, red paper flakes, jalapeño, bread crumbs, egg, salt and paper in a bowl. Make sure to thoroughly combine everything for an even flavor. Form the mixture into patties (about three to four pieces, your choice!).
Cook the patties in olive oil on a hot skillet for about three minutes each side. Repeat this two to three times. Be careful when flipping the patties as they break apart easily. Top the patties with cheese and allow to melt a little before taking them out of the skillet. Do not turn off the heat.
Toss the separated onions on the skillet and stir until they start to turn a little brown.
When they do, place the Kaiser rolls on the skillet face down and press them down with a spatula for about a minute.
Remove from the skillet and immediately place the burger patty on the bun, including the onions. Dress the burger with BBQ sauce and serve.
