Experience the flavors of the Middle East with these succulent lamb kofte burgers. They're seasoned with aromatic spices, grilled to perfection, and served with a refreshing shaved carrot salad. A delightful twist on the classic burger!
Ingredients: 1 lb ground lamb. 1/2 cup breadcrumbs. 1/4 cup finely chopped onion. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 tsp ground cumin. 1 tsp ground coriander. 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon. Salt and pepper to taste. 4 burger buns. 1 cup shaved carrots. 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped. 1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped. 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt. 2 tbsp lemon juice. 1 tbsp olive oil. 1 tsp honey. Lettuce leaves and tomato slices for garnish.
Instructions: In a mixing bowl, combine ground lamb, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Divide the mixture into 4 portions and shape them into burger patties. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the lamb kofte burgers for about 4-5 minutes per side or until they are cooked to your desired level of doneness. While the burgers are grilling, prepare the carrot salad. In a separate bowl, combine shaved carrots, chopped mint leaves, and chopped parsley leaves. In a small bowl, whisk together plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, and honey to make the dressing for the carrot salad. Pour the yogurt dressing over the carrot salad and toss to coat the ingredients evenly. Toast the burger buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until they are lightly browned. Assemble the Lamb Kofte Burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with a lamb kofte patty, a generous portion of carrot salad, and tomato slices. Place the top half of the bun over the ingredients to complete the burger. Serve the Lamb Kofte Burgers immediately, garnished with extra mint leaves if desired. Enjoy your delicious Lamb Kofte Burger with Shaved Carrot Salad!
