A Unique Taste from Free-Range Lambs in New Zealand

When it comes to creating the perfect burger, the quality of the meat matters a lot. That’s why I always choose free-range lamb from New Zealand for this recipe. The lambs are raised in wide-open pastures and are allowed to roam freely. This results in meat that is tender, succulent, and packed with flavor. New Zealand lamb is known for its superior taste and quality, making it the perfect choice for this burger.

Grilling the Perfect Lamb Burger

To start, gather the following ingredients:

• Ground lamb meat
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Garlic powder
• Worcestershire sauce
• Hamburger buns
• Lettuce, tomato relish, beetroot slices, and onions for topping
• Creamy hummus

Here’s how you can make the perfect lamb burger:

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Charcoal grills work best for this recipe as they add a smoky flavor to the meat.
2. In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb meat, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix the ingredients together gently, being careful not to overwork the meat.
3. Divide the meat mixture into equal-sized patties, depending on your desired burger size.
4. Place the patties on the preheated grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare or 5-6 minutes per side for medium, flipping only once.
5. While the patties are grilling, toast the hamburger buns on the grill until lightly golden.
6. Once the patties are cooked to your desired level of doneness, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
7. Assemble your burger by spreading a generous amount of creamy hummus on the bottom bun. Then, add a lettuce leaf, a spoonful of tomato relish, a few slices of pickled beetroot, the lamb patty, some onion slices, and finally the top bun.
8. Serve the lamb burger alongside some crispy fries or a fresh summer salad.
