of the Month.
It's
barbeque season here in North America, so we
thought we'd share with you a recipe from our very own Exotic Morocco culinary
vacation just outside of Marrakech.
Small Moroccan Barbequed Lamb Burgers
2 lbs (pounds) ground lamb
½ tsp ground coriander seed
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp ground cumin
½ tsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
Few pinches of sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves of minced garlic
How to make them:
1) Mix all ingredients well (by
hand is the best method).
2) Use an ice cream scoop to form
balls and then work into small lamb burger patties.
3) Grill lamb burgers on the
barbeque - grill for a few minutes either side (be careful not too over-cook,
otherwise lamb burgers will become dry).
4) Serve lamb burgers on top of
broiche bread (or regular burger buns).
Slice the bread or the bun and 'punch out' rounds of bread with a
glass.
5) Blend a tangy yogurt to serve
with the burgers - mix 2 cups yogurt, lemon zest, juice of one lemon (the
equivalent of ½ a cup), sea salt and 10 grinds of freshly ground pepper.
6) Place burger on top of bread,
add a dallop of yogurt, lettuce and thinly sliced tomatoes and serve.
Bon Appetit!
