How to Make Spicy Mid Eastern Lamb Patties

  1. In a large bowl, gently combine 1 lb ground lamb, 1 large egg, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander, 1 tsp ground cardamom, 1 tbsp paprika, 1 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), and the juice of 1 lemon.
  2. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed. Do not overmix.
  3. Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
  4. Lightly spray a large non-stick skillet with cooking oil and heat over high heat. Add the patties and cook for 3 minutes per side, until nicely browned.
  5. Reduce heat to medium. Add 1 cup sliced mushrooms and 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers to the skillet.
  6. Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low, and continue to cook for approximately 10 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the peppers are heated through and the lamb is cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
  7. (Optional BBQ Method): Grill the patties over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side. After flipping, add your favorite hot sauce for an extra fiery kick!
  8. Serve immediately on buns with your favorite toppings or as a side dish with garlic rice, kohlrabi, and carrots.
