Spicy lamb burger with tzatziki (ish) sauce | burger recipes
You know when you just crave a burger, and you just have to have it and nothing else will do? This was me the other day. I knew I wanted a burger, but I wanted something a bit different. Not like banana and mustard kind of different, more spicy lamb burger with a tzatziki sauce kind of different, and this is the baby I produced.
The thing with lamb is it's nice and fatty. This lends itself well to a burger where you want a nice crispy crust, but is still nice and juicy on the inside. You need to get good lamb mince for this OK. no going the frozen aisle and buying the cheap rubbish stuff, have something else instead. You can also switch up the spices and add your own flavours. Want more heat? Then chuck in some fresh jalepenos, want more chees? Then add it, it's your burger after all. I'm just the meat messiah, guiding you on a burger pilgrimage.
To make my spicy lamb burgers with tzatziki (ish) sauce you will need:
450g of lamb mince
About 1/4 tsp of cayenne (more if you want it hotter)
1/2 tsp of cumin
1/2 tsp of smoked paprika
Salt & pepper
Sauce
150g of greek yoghurt
About 2 tbsp of chopped cucumber
About 8 mint leaves
2 tsp of honey
About 1 tbsp of lemon juice
Salt & pepper
Burger buns and of course the toppings of your choice. I used lettuce, piquante peppers and some sliced red onion.
