CURRY-SPICED LAMB BURGERS
This recipe came from a revelation in the '70s, when my friend Semeon Tsalbins introduced me to the lamb burger. It is ground lamb - shoulder is best - highly seasoned and grilled rare. Because lamb is the most full-flavored of the everyday meats, it makes a more delicious plain burger than beef. Cooked with nothing but salt, it's fantastic. Cooked with a variety of spices, as it is here, it's a game-changer. You can also stuff the burger, as Mr. Tsalbins does on occasion, with smoked mozzarella.

Steps:
- If grilling or broiling, heat should be medium-high and rack about 4 inches from fire. Put lamb and onion into a food processor (in batches if your machine is small) and pulse until coarsely ground. Put in a bowl with chili, coriander, cumin and turmeric, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Mix, handling the meat as little as possible, until combined. Taste and adjust seasonings. Handling meat as lightly as possible to avoid compressing it, shape it into 4 or more burgers.
- To broil or grill, cook about 3 minutes on each side for rare and another minute per side for each increasing stage of doneness. For stovetop, heat a large skillet over medium heat for 2 or 3 minutes, then add patties; cook, undisturbed, for about 2 minutes, then rotate them so they brown evenly. Turn once and cook for a total of about 6 minutes for rare.
- Garnish with diced mango, green and red pepper, red onion and scallion, and with shredded carrot and lettuce.

MOROCCAN-SPICED LAMB BURGERS
Had these delcious burgers for lunch today. DH and I both thought they tasted like something we could be eating at our favorite Middle Eastern restaurant. The pita bread, yogurt, and tomato topping was really delicious with the spiced lamb. From Williams-Sonoma "Essentials of Grilling."

Steps:
- In a bowl, combine the lamb, onion, bread crumbs, mint, garlic, cumin, coriander, 3/4 tsp salt, and the cayenne. Using your hands, mix gently but thoroughly. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form each into an oval patty about 4 1/2 inches long and about 3/4 inch thick.
- In a small bowl, stir together the tomato and cilantro and season with salt. Let the patties and the tomato mixture stand at room temperature for 15 minutes, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours. If refrigerated, remove from the refrigerator 15 minutes before grilling.
- Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for direct grilling over high heat.
- Grill the burgers over the hottest part of a charcoal fire or directly over the heat elements of a gas grill, turning once, until nicely charred and cooked to your liking, 5-6 minutes per side for medium. About 1 minute before the burgers are done, place the pita breads along the edges of a charcoal grill where the heat is less intense, or on an area of a gas grill with lower heat, so they can warm.
- To assemble the sandwiches, coat the pockets of the pita breads lightly with some of the yogurt, then slip a lamb burger into each bread. Add the tomato mixture, sprouts, and the remaining yogurt, or serve these condiments on the side.

Steps:
- Make the yogurt sauce:
- Whisk yogurt, oil, lemon zest, salt, and garlic in a medium bowl until combined.
- Do Ahead: Yogurt sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
- Make and assemble the burgers:
- Mix paprika, cayenne, 1 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1 tsp. black pepper in a small bowl.
- Shape lamb into 4 patties about 3/4" thick. Season with spice mixture on both sides.
- Heat oil in a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high. Working in batches if needed, cook patties until underside is browned, 5-6 minutes. Turn and cook until browned on other side, 4-5 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer to a plate and let rest 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toss asparagus, snap peas, onion, lemon juice, and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a medium bowl.
- Generously spread yogurt sauce on cut sides of buns. Build each burger with a lamb patty and a mound of slaw. You will probably have extra slaw left over-serve it alongside.
LATIN-SPICED LAMB BURGERS
Steps:
- Toast the pepper, coriander and cumin together in a dry pan over low heat until they crackle and pop (shake the pan constantly). Their color should be light brown, and spices should smell like toast, popcorn, smoky, etc. Pour them straight into a coffee grinder and blend the seeds to a fine powder. Add the lamb to a medium bowl and stir in all of the spices, the garlic and salt. Combine well. Form the lamb mixture into 6 even patties.
- Open the dried peppers and shake out the seeds (a few seeds left in is ok). Add the peppers to a saucepan with the water, and boil over medium heat until only 1/4 cup of liquid remains at the bottom. Add the peppers (with cooking liquid), sour cream, oil, garlic and lime to a blender, and blend it until very smooth. Add the salt and blend again. Pour in enough cream to thin the mixture to a saucy consistency. Pulse a few times to incorporate and get squirtable consistency.
- Grill the lamb patties and the ciabatta until nice, dark grill marks are everywhere (lamb is at its juiciest around medium-rare). Put about 1 teaspoon of the sauce on each side of the bun. Slice the patties in half to lay lengthwise on the bread. Crumble the Cotija cheese over the top. Dress Add the onion, tomato slices and lettuce. Cut sandwich lengthwise (along the seam of the lamb patty) and plate with the cross-section facing outward.

To serve, place a handful of rocket on the bottom half of each roll, top with a burger, a large dollop of tzatziki and the remaining half roll. Serve hot.

Steps:
- Prepare a medium-high gas or charcoal grill fire. In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the lamb with 1 Tbs. of the olive oil, the coriander, cumin, ginger, cinnamon, 1-1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Form into four 1/2-inch-thick burgers. Oil the grill grate. Grill the burgers for 5 minutes, then flip and continue to grill until an instant read thermometer inserted into a burger registers 145°F for medium, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, put the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil in a mini food processor with the parsley, cilantro, oregano, vinegar, garlic, red pepper flakes, and 1/4 tsp. salt. Process until a coarse paste forms, scraping the sides of the processor at least once. Serve each burger in a pita half with the sauce, sliced tomato, and a dollop of yogurt. Serving Suggestions A rice salad studded with plenty of summery vegetables or a Cucumber and Herb Salad with Crumbled Feta would make a delicious accompaniment. nutrition information (per serving): Calories (kcal): 580; Fat (g): 41; Fat Calories (kcal): 360; Saturated Fat (g): 12; Protein (g): 32; Monounsaturated Fat (g): 22; Carbohydrates (g): 19; Polyunsaturated Fat (g): 3.5; Sodium (mg): 750; Cholesterol (mg): 115; Fiber (g): 2;
