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

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

These Herby Sheep Burgers are not only quick and easy but also bursting with savory flavors that will satisfy your taste buds. Whether you’re hosting a barbecue or simply craving a flavorful snack, this recipe is sure to become a favorite. Enjoy the succulent taste of lamb blended with aromatic herbs, complemented by the tangy kick of Worcestershire and barbecue sauce—a perfect harmony of ingredients that promises a memorable culinary experience!
