MEDITERRANEAN STYLE LAMB BURGERS

Lamb, although already full of flavours, can withstand the addition of seasonings without losing its own taste. Lamb goes so well with a lot of herbs and is so delicious when made into Mediterranean burgers. Just add fire and it turns into a perfect meal.

These patties are so juicy, tender and flavoursome. I am about to decide that it tastes better than beef burgers...any second now. The amount of herbs added are just right to create a balanced taste without losing the real taste of the meat. An egg and a tiny bit of breadcrumbs helps to hold the juices in. It is a lot tastier than you can ever imagine.

Ol' mayo, ketchup and mustard won't do for burgers this tasty. Feta cheese dressing is the best complement for the Mediterranean flavourings of the patties. They tasted so great together! Do try this out before the summer is over.

600 gms. minced lamb

1 egg

1 small red onion, chopped
