Ingredients
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 egg
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 2 tablespoons mixed herbs (such as parsley, thyme, and rosemary)
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce (plus extra for serving)
- Flour, for dusting
Instructions
-
Prepare the Burger Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped onion, egg, ground lamb, celery, tomato paste, ketchup, mixed herbs, and Worcestershire sauce. Use your hands to mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
-
Shape the Burgers:
- Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Flatten each ball into a burger patty using the palms of your hands. Dust each patty lightly with flour to prevent sticking.
-
Cook the Burgers:
- Heat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat. Cook the burgers over hot coals or on a grill pan for 5-8 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and nicely browned.
-
Serve:
- Serve the Herby Sheep Burgers hot off the grill, accompanied by extra barbecue sauce for dipping or spreading. These burgers pair wonderfully with a side of crispy fries, a fresh salad, or even in a soft burger bun with your favorite toppings.
Tips for Success
- Mixing the Ingredients: Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the lamb mixture for balanced flavor in every bite.
- Grilling Time: Adjust cooking time based on your grill’s heat level and the thickness of your burger patties to achieve the desired doneness.
- Flavor Variations: Experiment with different herbs or add a hint of spice with chili flakes or cumin for a personalized touch.
