Preparation:
If you are tired of beef yet looking for a great-tasting
burger, here's a splendid choice, easily mixed up with
lots of fresh mint, onion and garlic. The fresh mint is
essential for an exciting burst of flavor in these
luscious patties. Chop the leaves coarsely with a good,
sharp knife so that they will stay nice and green. For a
garnish, nothing goes better than plain yogurt and ripe
tomato slices. Drain the yogurt through a strainer lined
with cheesecloth for one hour before serving.
1. Prepare hot coals for grilling.
2. Place the ground lamb in a bowl and mix well with
onion, garlic and chopped mint, being sure not to
overmix. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Gently
form the mixture into 4 patties.
3. Grill the burgers over hot coals, 3" from heat, for
about 4 minutes per side for rare meat or 5 minutes per
side for medium-rare.
4. Serve the lamb burgers immediately on buns topped
with a tomato slice and a dollop of yogurt, if desire |
