Mediterranean Lamb Burgers

These Mediterranean lamb burgers are a personal favorite, they are full of earthy flavors that taste so exotic it makes you want to travel to the Mediterranean and taste more.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground lamb
• 1/4 cup dried figs
• 1 minced garlic clove
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• salt and pepper
• Oil for greasing
• 4 small pitta breads, toasted

Method:

• Mix the ground lamb, figs, garlic, cumin, paprika and thyme until everything is blended well. Shape into 4 patties and season with salt and pepper and spray/coat lightly with the oil.
• Broil or grill the burgers for 5 minutes each side and until the juices run clear. Serve open-face in the warmed pitta.
• This will go great with a mint yoghurt which can be made by mixing fresh mint leaves into greek yoghurt.

Suggested burger topping: make a meal of this dish by serving with a Couscous salad. More burger toppings.
