Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground lamb meat
  • 2 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 2 tablespoons ground chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • Salt and pepper
  • Southwest seasoning
  • 4 slices Jalapeno Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup roasted garlic aioli
  • 1 cup roasted corn and roasted pepper salsa
  • 4 beer bread buns
  • 2 cups shoestring potatoes

Directions

Preheat the fryer. Preheat the grill. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb with the cumin, chili powder, and garlic. Mix until thoroughly incorporated. Season with Southwest seasoning. Form into 4-ounce patties. Place on the grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Place the cheese on the burgers about a minute before removing from the grill, so the cheese will melt. Fry the shoestring potatoes for 3 minutes or until golden. Remove from the fryer and drain on a paper-lined plate. Season with salt and pepper. Spread the aioli in-between the bun. Place the burger in-between the bun and top with the salsa. Garnish with the fried shoestrings.

    I loved this burger! Nothing like the taste of chili/cumin with one of my favorite types of ground meats. I thought the flavors would be overwhelming but the final product is quite tasty. I will try these same spices on gound beef or turkey next. I am not sure why someone would think of this as "gamey" when the spices blend so well with lamb that actually you may not even know you are eating an 'alternative' burger!

    I am always looking for alternative burgers, and last year I tried this recipe. I have "had" to make the burgers several times since then, by popular demand. While burgers made from something other than ground beef might take a more sophisticated palate than many people have, we found these to be a welcome addition to our repertoire of quick family meals!
