These burgers really do help to make a barbecue feel even more special. You should serve the burgers in buns with a little salad and feta cheese and also a yoghurt dip.
Ingredients
Burgers
- 450 gram Ground Lamb
- 225 gram Ground Beef
- 3 Tablespoons Freshly Chopped Mint
- 1 Teaspoon Freshly Minced Ginger Root
- 1 Teaspoon Minced Garlic
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- ½ Teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Yogurt Sauce
- 450 gram Greek Yogurt
- Zest Of ½ Lemon
- 1 Minced Garlic Clove
- ½ Teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- To make the burgers you place the ground lamb and beef in to a bowl with the mint, ginger root, garlic, salt and pepper and stir together until just about combined.
- Now divide the mixture up into four portions then shape them into four patties.
- Set them aside.
- It is best if you cover them up and place in the refrigerator until you are ready to cook them.
- After making the burgers you are now ready to make the sauce.
- To do this place the yogurt, lemon zest, garlic and salt into a bowl and mix well.
- Place the mixture, which you have covered over, into the refrigerator until it is needed.
- When it comes to cooking the lamb the barbecue should be at a medium heat and will need to be cooked on both sides for between 3 and 4 minutes each.
- The best way to test to see if they are cooked through is to insert a meat thermometer and see if the temperature inside them has reached 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Once the burgers are ready you need to prepare the buns in which the burgers will be served.
- The first thing you should do is place a slice of onion and tomato on the grill and cook them until they are lightly charred on each side.
- Then spread some of the yogurt sauce over the burger or ciabatta roll and then place the burger on top of this.
- Then place on top of this the onion and tomato slices before some leaves of lettuce.
- Then top it all off with some slices of feta cheese and the top part of the roll.
