Notes
- A charcoal grill is great for this recipe, as the flavor really lends itself to the lamb.
- I have made this with an 80/20 ground burger with good outcome
- If you don’t like an ingredient, omit it!
- When shopping, choose the fattier lamb
- If you choose to cook your lamb burger to medium-rare, the internal temperature should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit. If you are looking for medium, cook to 150° Fahrenheit. Cook them to the temp you like, but know that the safe temp is 160° Fahrenheit.
