Kitchen Guy’s Lamb Burgers Recipe

Ingredients
For the Raita:
1 cup low-fat yogurt, plain
1/2 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded and finely diced
2 green onions, finely sliced
1/3 cup cilantro, chopped
1 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
Sea salt and pepper to taste

For the lamb burgers:
1 pound ground lamb
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. ground coriander
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
Pinch of cayenne
Salt and pepper to taste
4 whole wheat pita bread

Method
Make the Raita by combining the yogurt, cucumber, green onions, cumin and ginger plus the salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings. Cover and set aside in the refrigerator until ready to use.

For the lamb burgers, combine cumin, coriander, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, salt and pepper and cayenne and gently knead spice mixture into the ground lamb. Divide the meat into four potions and shape into patties.

Grill the lamb burgers over medium high heat, about 4 minutes on each side for medium rare, 5 to 6 minutes for medium, and 8 minutes for well done.

Tuck each burger into a pita pocket and dress with a generous helping of Raita.
