    Moroccan Spiced Lamb Burgers with Pea Hummus, Goat Cheese, and Beets - This has many layers of flavour, all of which complement each other!

    The other day, I posted a recipe that was the indirect result of my husband's recent business trip to Ireland: Tandoori Spiced Chicken Burgers with Mango. WILD.

    Today I'm posting the first "inspired by that trip" recipe I actually made - the day after he got back.

    Yes, tired, jet-lagged, and just happy to be home, I dragged his ass to the grocery store to get ingredients for it.

    To be fair, he shouldn't have shown me his photo and told me about what was in it. He knows what I'm like 🙂

    Moroccan Spiced Lamb Burgers

    This was developed based on the Moroccan Spiced Lamb burger he actually ordered at G Counter, whereas the Tandoori one was based entirely upon a menu description.

    What he was attracted to about this burger in Ireland was that it's SO different from anything he's ever seen locally.

    Also: he's addicted to beets.

    We made this up as 2 giant burgers, and were full all day. It would definitely work as smaller burgers - 3 or 4 of them.

    Actually, I bet these would be super cute and elegant if done up as a tray of sliders!

    This has many layers of flavour, all of which complement each other without being overwhelming.

    It's a very satisfying burger!

    Additionally, this can be made gluten-free with the appropriate choice of bun (or exclusion of the bun, which is how I had it!)

    • 12 oz Goat Cheese
    • ⅓ cup Heavy Cream
    • 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
    • Salt and Pepper

    Pea Hummus

    • 1 ½ cups Frozen Peas
    • ¼ cup Olive Oil
    • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
    • 2 tablespoon Fresh Mint
    • 1 Garlic Clove

    Burgers

    • 1 lb Ground Lamb
    • ¼ cup Grated Onion
    • 1 Large Egg
    • 2 Garlic cloves crushed
    • 2 tablespoon Finely Chopped Cilantro
    • 1 teaspoon Ground Pepper
    • ¾ teaspoon Salt
    • ½ teaspoon Ground Coriander
    • ½ teaspoon Garam Masala
    • ¼ teaspoon Smoked Paprika
    • ¼ teaspoon Cumin
    • Pinch Cinnamon

    Assembly

    • Burger bun of choice Gluten free, if needed
    • Thinly sliced roasted beets

    Instructions

    Goat Cheese Spread

    • In a small food processor, using a stick blender, or whisking by hand, blend together the goat cheese, heavy cream, and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper to taste, cover and chill until use.

    Pea Hummus

    • In a medium saucepan, cover peas with water and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes, drain well. Place cooked peas, olive oil, lemon juice, mint, and garlic into a food processor, blitz until smoothish. Season with salt and pepper to taste, cover and chill until use.

    Burgers

    • In a large bowl, combine lamb, onion, egg, garlic, cilantro, and spices. Gently use hands to get a really good mix going, making sure that everything is evenly distributed and well incorporated. Divide meat mixture into 2-4 evenly sized balls. Flatten each ball into a patty that is roughly the size of your burger buns – maybe a little larger.
    • Grill over medium heat until fully cooked.

    To Assemble:

    • Spread goat cheese on upper buns, pea hummus on lower buns. Place burger on lower bun, top with sliced beets and upper bun.
