BBQ and Grilling - Tips

I bought a selection of lamb cuts from a CSA and got several one-pound packages of ground lamb. I made the last one tonight, and it was the best of all. Top them with Dijon mayo, tomato slices, and baby greens.

Tips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Thoroughly mix ground lamb rosemary thyme garlic powder salt and pepper together in a bowl; shape into 4 patties.

Step 3

Cook the burgers until they are beginning to firm and are hot and slightly pink in the center about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Alternately you can cook the burgers to your desired degree of doneness. Rest burgers while assembling toppings.

Step 4

Mix mayonnaise and mustard together in a small bowl; spread 1 tablespoon of the mixture onto one side of each bun. Put a burger onto each bun and top with tomato and greens. Sandwich with remaining bun half to serve.
