If you're like the rest of us, you've had your fair share of ground beef hamburgers since going Paleo and would welcome a robust flavor change. Enter ground lamb burgers with a cool cucumber sauce:
Ground Lamb Burgers
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, diced
- 10 Kalamata olives, pitted & chopped
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1.5 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
- .75 tsp sea salt
- .25 tsp fresh ground black pepper
Instructions: Combine all ingredients in a bowl and then form into 4 patties. Cook on the grill or under broiler to desired doneness.
Cucumber Sauce
- 1 seedless cucumber
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 cup plain full-fat greek yogurt (look for FAGE Total)
- 2 TBSP olive oil
- 1 TBSP mint, finely chopped
- .5 tsp sea salt
- fresh ground black pepper to taste
Instructions: Peel, halve, and then coarsely shred the cucumber. Use a garlic press or the back of a spoon to mash the garlic. Combine shredded cucumber, pressed garlic, and all other ingredients in a bowl. Serve on top of or next to burgers.
