Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds ground lamb
- 2 tablespoons lamb seasoning, click link for the recipe
- ½ cup pickled beets, matchstick sliced
- ½ cup mint jelly
- ½ cup blue cheese crumbles
- ½ cup garlic aioli, or mayonnaise (see notes below)
- 4 pieces lettuce
- 1 tomato, sliced
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- 4 brioche buns, or hamburger buns
Instructions
- Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
- Combine the ground lamb and lamb seasoning. Portion out the seasoned meat into four 6 ounce patties. Press your thumb in the middle of each burger patty to indent it.
- Place the lamb burger patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they’ve reached an internal temperature of 150°F on an instant-read thermometer.
- During the last minute on the grill, top each patty with ⅛ cup blue cheese crumbles. Remove the patties from the grill and let them rest while you toast the brioche buns on the grill.
- Remove the buns, spread garlic aioli (or mayo) on the bottom bun, add a piece of lettuce, sliced tomato and sliced red onion. Top with the burger patty. Add the mint jelly and pickled beets on top of the burger, then add the top bun and serve.
Notes
- To make your own garlic aioli, combine 5 crushed garlic cloves with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¾ cup mayonnaise.
