How to Make a Lamb Burger
For the Lamb Burgers:
1 lb Sun Raised Foods ground lamb
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
spices of your choice - we used a Mango & Smoked Habanero seasoning
4 burger buns
To make lamb burgers:
Divide ground lamb equally into 4 portions. Flatten into uniform rounds, then use your thumb or finger to make a small indentation right on top in the center of each patty (see note below).
30 minutes prior to cooking, sprinkle each patty generously with kosher salt (about ½ tsp per burger) and freshly ground black pepper (about ¼ tsp each) and your choice of spices on both sides.
To cook lamb burgers:
Preheat a grill, cast iron skillet, or griddle over medium-high heat. Coat with nonstick oil spray (if grilling) or a couple tablespoons olive oil (if cooking indoors). Cook each burger patty for 4-5 minutes per side, or until an internal temperature of 150 F is reached (for medium). Allow burgers to rest 2-3 minutes before serving on buns with your favorite condiments and sides.
