Step aside,
beef—lamb burgers are our new go-to choice at summer cookouts. These burgers not only boast a perfectly tender lamb patty, but come complete with arugula and red onion for crunch, and a tangy feta-yogurt sauce that truly takes this burger to a whole new level. Whether you’re looking to switch up your classic beef burger or are looking for a casual main for your Easter dinner, these lamb burgers are the answer. Here’s everything you need to know:
How to cook a lamb burger:
Using lamb instead of beef is great because the process doesn’t really change between the two; you just get some extra flavor built in! Lamb burgers can also be served medium or medium-rare just like a beef burger. Cook for 3-4 minutes if you prefer medium.
How to top your burger:
We perfected these burgers by slathering our homemade feta-yogurt sauce on both sides of the bun, then topping our patties with red onion and arugula. Feel free to switch up your toppings if you prefer: add some melty cheese, a sliced tomato, or anchovies, or switch up your leafy green.
Serving ideas:
Looking for side ideas? We love this burger paired with sweet potato fries, grilled eggplant, Greek lemon potatoes, or a cucumber salad. If you end up with any leftover sauce, it makes for a perfect dip for raw veggies or pita chips.
