Mediterranean Lamb Quinoa Burgers

Easy Cooking, Great Results

Mediterranean Lamb Quinoa Burgers make a nice game day meal packed with Mediterranean Flavor and a mixture of basmati rice and quinoa to create texture and bind the burger together. We like to top these burgers with a light mint yogurt sauce, arugula and tomatoes.

INGREDIENTS

Lamb Burgers

  • 1/4 Cup Della Basmati & Quinoa mixture, {1/4 cup of uncooked rice will give you the 1/2 cup cooked rice}, cook as directed
  • 1 lb. ground lamb
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika {you can use smoked paprika for a smoky flavor}
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon rosemary
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne red pepper {optional}
  • 1/4 cup
  • Olive oil
  • Tomato Slices
  • Lettuce

Mint-Yogurt Sauce

  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 Tablespoons fresh, chopped mint

Step 1

  • Cook the basmati & quinoa mixture according to package. Set aside once done.

Step 2

  • If you have a mixer, put all ingredients in the bowl and turn your mixer to low and mix until just combined. Remove and form into 4 lamb burger patties. If you do not have a mixer you can use your hands to combine everything together and then form into four patties.

Step 3

  • Prepare your grill to medium heat. Place the lamb burgers on the burners once the gill is heated, flipping once, until browned and cooked until your liking {for us it was about 10 minutes for medium}.

Step 4

  • While the burgers cook, in a small bowl combine the yogurt and the chopped mint and stir until combined.

Step 5

  • Remove the lamb burgers and serve on a bun with tomato, lettuce, and a dollop of mint-yougurt or a spread of hummus. Enjoy!
