Lamb Burgers with Herb Roasted Tomatoes

SAVE & SHARE:

I’m craving sunshine on my bare shoulders, outdoor dinners and crisp glasses of white wine, anything that reminds me that summer is around the corner.  Unfortunately it’s February, and it feels like those sunglasses will have to wait another month.  But I can cook a weeknight dinner using my new indoor grill and create the flavors of summer tonight! This lamb burger recipe is a take on the kebabs my father grilled for us growing up.  Stuffed with toasted pine nuts, lots of herbs like parsley and dill, and finished with cool Tzaziki sauce, it’s a hit for the kids and adults in my home.  But if I’m honest, the star here is the sweet tri colored tomatoes swimming in herbs and olive oil.  I barely cook them, but I sauté them just enough to warm their thin skin and bring out the flavors of the herbs that surround them.  I’d love to hear what you think, try it out tonight and lmk!  xo, Roni

Warm Lamb Burgers

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs grass fed ground lamb (I use the leanest lamb they have as it yields quite a bit of fat when cooking)
  • 4 cloves minced garlic
  • 510 dashes worcestershire sauce (can substitute soy sauce here)
  • 2 tbsp ground cumin
  • 3 tbsp each: chopped parsley, dill and chives
  • 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat your indoor grill, if you have settings, choose the burger option.  
  2. Toss all the ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix gently until the pine nuts, herbs and garlic are well combined with the meat.  
  3. Form into even sized patties (mine were small, but I made about 8).  
  4. Grill until medium to well done, depending on preference (anywhere from 5-10 minutes).  
  5. Serve with Tzaziki sauce.
