About

Beef gets all of the love when it comes to burgers, but it’s time for lamb’s time to shine in this dish! This ground lamb is combined with fresh herbs and spices before getting a nice crust from pan-searing. Wrap the lamb burgers in your favorite type of lettuce, top with a yogurt sauce and dig in! Romaine was used for this recipe, but butter lettuce or iceberg would also work well!
