Spicy Grilled Lamb Patties image

I grew up in a large family of good cooks. My Father was Egyptian and my Mother was half Hungarian and half Italian. I was always an observant person and enjoyed helping my parents cook. It was a pleasure to eat such wonderful food as they served! I watched and learned so much from them. My own children and friends and siblings...

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 LB ground lamb
6 oz crumbled feta cheese
2 clove garlic, peeled and finely minced
1/4 cup minced red onion.
1 small sprig(s) fresh rosemary, minced fine
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
salt and pepper to taste
olive oil to brush on prepared patties before grilling.

Steps:

  • 1. Have lamb at room temperature to assure even cooking. Preheat charcoal or gas grill or use a grill pan indoors on your stovetop.
  • 2. Combine all ingredients and blend well. Form into 4 patties of medium thickness so they stay juicy. Brush lightly with olive oil on all sides to prevent sticking.
  • 3. Grill over hot coals until a meat thermometer registers medium rare to medium doneness for lamb. Overcooking is NOT recommended for lamb.
  • 4. I like to serve these with grilled flatbread and a salad of Lettuce, chopped tomatoes, oil-cured Moroccan olives, a bit of crumbled feta and a sprinkling of toasted pine nuts. I dress the salad very simply using a few TBSPS. good olive oil, fresh lemon juice, salt and pepper and a bit of Oregano. You may even enjoy combining the patties and salad and making a sandwich with the flatbread. However you choose to eat it, I believe you will enjoy it!
