Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds ground lamb
2 teaspoons ground coriander
4 tablespoons finely chopped mint
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large red onion, peeled and cut into 4 thick slices
Olive oil
8 ounces (1 cup) Greek yogurt
1/4 cup minced cucumber
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped dill
Zest of 1/2 lemon (about 1/2 teaspoon)
1 clove garlic, minced
4 soft potato rolls, such as Martin's
Directions
- Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat.
- Combine the lamb, coriander and 3 tablespoons of the mint in a large bowl. Form the mixture into 4 patties. Season with salt and pepper. Place the patties on the hot (direct heat) side of the grill, directly over the coals. Grill until nicely browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Move the patties to the cool (indirect heat) side of the grill.
- Drizzle the onion slices with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on the hot (direct heat) side of the grill and cook until softened and charred, 3 to 4 minutes, moving the slice over to the cool (indirect heat) side to finish cooking if needed.
- For the tzatziki, combine the yogurt, cucumber, dill, lemon zest and garlic and remaining 1 tablespoon mint in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- To serve, spoon some tzatziki onto a roll, top with a burger and a slice of grilled onion and close the roll.
