Ingredients

BURGERS

  • 1½ lb ground lamb
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • 8-12 slices gluten free bread, toasted (we like Udi's Millet-Chia bread)

TOPPINGS

  • olive mayonnaise (see below)
  • tadziki
  • thinly sliced red onion
  • thinly sliced cucumber
  • arugula

OLIVE MAYONNAISE

  • 2 tablespoon olive tapenade or pitted, chopped Kalamata olives
  • ½ cup Miracle Whip or homemade mayonnaise

Instructions

  • In a bowl gently combine ground lamb, oregano, garlic, coriander, cumin, salt, pepper and egg.
  • Shape into 4-6 patties and place on a tray lined with wax paper.
  • Grill patties 3-5 minutes per side, turning once. Resist the urge to push on the patties and squeeze out the juice, you want all that flavour.
  • Toast bread slices. Allow people to dress their burgers to taste offering olive mayonnaise, tadziki, red onion, cucumber and arugula.
