Grilled Lamb BurgersGrilled lamb burgers are really delicious. This recipe came about as I wanted to make gyros for a weekend bbq, but wanted to do something different. Originally I was going to serve them gyro style, but ended up actually making them into little lamb sliders instead. You can make these into meatballs and either insert them into a pita for a take on gyros, or substitute rosemary for oregano, and then make an awesome slider that you can serve on a small roll with a rosemary-lemon mayonnaise,arugula,tomatoes and cucumbers. Delicious.
The trick for these is the pork lamb combination of meats. The pork lightens them a bit. Then they have a meatball like base of eggs and bread crumbs. They are sticky when preparing, but the pay off is a delicate flavorful burger. Grill, pan fry or roast- they are great!
