LAMB WITH APRICOTS



Lamb with Apricots image

I got this out of a "Taste of Home" Christmas issue a few years back. The lady who submitted this was Jewish, and this was her entree for her Hanukkah meal. I'm not Jewish, but I love lamb, and this recipe is a winner! The sweetness of the citrus fruits and the the heat from the spices really stand out!

Feta and Mint Lamb Burgers (Pan Fry or BBQ) image

Evelyn I hope that you like this recipe. I created it and I am dedicating it to Evelyn/Athens as a thank-you for your efforts in RSC7. The recipe suggests 6 oz burgers but make them smaller if you wish. You may either pan fry or BBQ the patties. The Feta needs to be pan fried along with the mushrooms. Butter your buns if you wish.

Apricot mint lamb burgers with green mayonnaise is a delicious recipe that combines the sweetness of apricots with the freshness of mint and the richness of lamb. The green mayonnaise adds a tangy flavor and a touch of color to the dish. This recipe is perfect for a summer barbecue or a casual dinner with friends.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground lamb
  • 1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped

Preparation

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the ground lamb, chopped apricots, chopped mint, salt, and black pepper. Form the mixture into four equal-sized patties.
  2. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the lamb burgers for 3-4 minutes per side or until they are cooked to your liking.
  3. While the burgers are cooking, prepare the green mayonnaise. In a food processor or blender, combine the mayonnaise, chopped parsley, chopped basil, minced garlic, lemon juice, and chopped green onions. Blend until the mixture is smooth and green.
  4. Toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster. Spread a spoonful of the green mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun.
  5. When the lamb burgers are cooked, place them on top of the green mayonnaise. Add any additional toppings you may like, such as lettuce, tomato, or onion. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Health Benefits

Apricots are a good source of vitamin A and fiber, which are important for maintaining healthy vision and digestive function. Mint is known for its calming properties and can help soothe an upset stomach. Lamb is a good source of protein and essential nutrients like iron and vitamin B12. The green mayonnaise is a healthier alternative to traditional mayonnaise, as it contains a variety of fresh herbs and green onions, which are rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds.

Variations

  • You can substitute ground beef, turkey, or chicken for the ground lamb if you prefer.
  • If you don't like apricots, you can use dried cranberries, currants, or raisins instead.
  • You can add other herbs to the green mayonnaise, such as cilantro or dill.
  • You can make a Greek-inspired variation by adding feta cheese to the lamb burgers and using tzatziki sauce instead of green mayonnaise.

Conclusion

Apricot mint lamb burgers with green mayonnaise is a flavorful and healthy recipe that is easy to prepare and perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet apricots, fresh mint, and rich lamb creates a unique and satisfying taste, while the green mayonnaise adds a tangy twist. With a few variations, you can customize this dish to suit your tastes and preferences. Whether you're grilling out in the backyard or cooking up a quick dinner for two, this recipe is sure to please!
If you're looking for a unique twist on a classic burger, then why not try making apricot mint lamb burgers with green mayonnaise? The combination of sweet apricots, fresh mint, and succulent lamb makes for a delicious and refreshing burger that will delight your taste buds. Here are some valuable tips to keep in mind when making this recipe.

Tip #1: Choose the Right Cut of Lamb

When making lamb burgers, it's important to choose the right cut of meat. We recommend using ground lamb that is at least 20% fat content. This will ensure that your burgers stay juicy and flavorful. You can also ask your butcher for specific cuts of lamb that are ideal for grinding, such as the shoulder or leg.

Tip #2: Combine Lamb with Apricots and Mint

The most unique aspect of this recipe is the addition of apricots and mint to the lamb. The apricots add a natural sweetness, while the mint adds a refreshing note. To ensure that the flavors meld together seamlessly, we recommend finely chopping the apricots and mint leaves and mixing them into the ground lamb.

Tip #3: Don't Overwork the Meat

When you're forming the lamb burgers, it's important not to overwork the meat. Overworked meat can become tough and dry. To prevent this, use gentle hands when forming the patties and try not to handle them too much.

Tip #4: Grill the Burgers to Perfection

Grilling is the best way to cook lamb burgers, as it imparts a smoky flavor that pairs well with the sweetness of the apricots. Make sure your grill is heated to medium-high heat, around 375-400 degrees Fahrenheit. Grill the burgers for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

Tip #5: Create a Green Mayonnaise

To tie everything together, we recommend making a green mayonnaise using fresh herbs like parsley, tarragon, and chives. This will add a fresh and tangy note to your burgers. Simply blend the herbs with mayonnaise, lemon juice, and salt until smooth.

Tip #6: Toast the Buns

To add an extra level of texture and flavor, we recommend toasting the buns before building your burgers. This will give them a crispy exterior that will hold up to the juicy lamb and sweet apricots.
Conclusion
In conclusion, making apricot mint lamb burgers with green mayonnaise is a delicious and unique way to elevate your burger game. By following these valuable tips, you'll be able to create a burger that is juicy, flavorful, and refreshing, with the perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors.
