Fried Lamb Burger

By Saad Fayed, About.com

If you like hamburgers and want a little variation with a kick, fried lamb burgers are for you. The lamb is very tender and the spices really flatter the meat. You can serve this on pita, a bun, or as I prefer, on a kaiser or sourdough roll.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground lamb
  • 1/4 cup fresh, chopped parsley(without stems)
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic. chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 2 teaspoon tumeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil

Preparation:

In a medium bowl, combine flour, parsley, spices, onion, salt and pepper. Add meat with with wooden spoon or hands and begin to mix together.

In a small bowl beat the eggs, and then add to meat and spice mixture. Mix together. Form into patties.

In a skillet or frying pan, pour in oil and bring heat to a medium high. Cook each patty for about 1-4 minutes each side until golden brown and crispy.

Serve with or without bun and bread.
