Just before using, taste and adjust salt and black pepper. 2. Set the grill to preheat. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a small sauce pan. Add onion and fresh chopped garlic. Sweat until onions are soft. (2-3 minutes). For lamb burgers, in a wide bowl, add ground lamb, softened onions, all spices with mint, parsley and salt. Mix to combine and distribute all ingredients. 3. Make 4 large 1/3 pound patties or 6 small 1/4 pound patties as per liking. 4. To cook lamb burgers: Place burger patties on medium hot grill and cook for 5-6 minutes, then flip and cook other side until burgers are done to your taste. Dont flipem too often, let one side sear well and caramelize before tuning to cook other side. You can also lightly toast brioche buns, if prefer. For best result, after grilling, let cooked lamb rest for 5 minutes. 5.
