How to Make Moroccan Spiced Lamb Burgers
- In a bowl, combine 1 lb ground lamb, 1/2 medium yellow onion (finely chopped), 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tablespoon ground cumin, 1 tablespoon ground coriander, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper.
- Gently but thoroughly mix the lamb mixture with your hands.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into an oval patty about 4 1/2 inches long and 3/4 inch thick.
- In a small bowl, combine 1 medium tomato (diced), 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Let the patties and tomato mixture stand at room temperature for 15 minutes, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours. If refrigerated, remove 15 minutes before grilling.
- Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for direct grilling over high heat.
- Grill the burgers over the hottest part of the grill, turning once, until nicely charred and cooked to your liking (5-6 minutes per side for medium).
- About 1 minute before the burgers are done, place the pita breads on a cooler part of the grill to warm.
- To assemble, spread a thin layer of plain yogurt inside each pita pocket.
- Add a lamb burger to each pita.
- Top with the tomato mixture, alfalfa sprouts (optional), and remaining yogurt. Serve immediately.
