BBQ Cranberry Almond Lamb Burgers

It’s spring which means it’s what they call “grilling season”. I don’t know about you but we grilled plenty this winter. Anyway, when I think about grilling I think about burgers, among many other things. Now, you can make these burgers on the grill or on the stove, but either way they are delicious.

What You’ll Need…

1lb Ground Lamb

3 Tablespoons BBQ sauce

Pinch of Slivered Almonds (Per burger)

Pinch of Dried Cranberries (Per burger)

2oz Cheese (Your favorite kind, cubed.)

Chili Powder (To Taste)

Black Pepper (To Taste)

Garlic Powder (To taste)

Season Salt (To taste)

In a mixing bowl combine the lamb, BBQ sauce, and spices. I find it much easier to mix with my hands and that way you don’t over mix.

Once the meat has been flavored divide it into four. Taking one chunk at a time form a much flatter than normal patty. Place a cheese cube, a pinch of almonds, and a pinch of dried cranberries in the center of each patty. Fold the meat up around the filling so that the burger is closed and the filling can’t leak.

To cook the burgers place them in a skillet or on the grill. When the patties are halfway cooked flip them to allow the other side to cook. Allow the burgers to cook all the way through, or to the level of doneness that you like.

Place on your favorite bun or bread, naan is a great bread for this burger, and top with your favorite condiments and toppings.

Enjoy!
