Ingredients
-
1 lb ground lamb
-
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic, minced
-
3/4 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 teaspoon cumin
-
1/8 teaspoon allspice
-
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
-
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
-
1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
-
4 hamburger buns
-
lettuce leaf (for garnish)
-
sliced tomatoes (for garnish)
-
sliced roasted red pepper (for garnish)
-
1 medium shallot, minced
Instructions
- Combine lamb, shallot, garlic, salt, cumin, allspice, cayenne, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly to combine the seasonings and the meat.
- Form the meat mix into 4 patties about 1/2 inch thick. Cover the patties with plastic wrap, and chill for at least two hours. This will allow the spices to completely season the meat.
- Prepare a grill to medium high heat. Brush both sides of the burgers with the oil, to keep them from sticking to the grill.
- Grill the patties for about 4 minutes on each side for medium doneness (or adjust to your preferred temp). Remove from heat, and cover to keep warm while you toast the buns.
- Place the buns, cut side down, on the grill for 1 to 2 minutes to toast.
- Place the burgers on the toasted buns, and garnish as desired. serve immediately.
