Reviews
Simplistically Wonderful! This was the topmost quality burger with the best accompaniments. I so enjoyed using fresh rosemary and thyme from my garden. The thick slice of tomato made this burger visually beautiful. We didn’t even miss some of the traditional burger items like onion and cheese at all. This recipe with just a few ingredients made it simplistically wonderful. The lamb burgers were so juicy without being a slight bit greasy. The only changes/additions I made was to put the mayo-mustard mix on the top and bottom bun too. I thought it would assist in helping the mixed greens in place. The mayo-mustard mix is all this burger needed with the fresh garden items to be perfection. I also cooked this on my stove top grill pan as I live in Las Vegas, and it is 105 degrees today – not grilling outside conducive. Making this recipe was my first-time using ground lamb and I would not hesitate to do it again.
Definitely an “experiment with herb quantity” recipe and figure out what is the right amount for you. I followed the recipe and found that even one sprig of rosemary was a just a bit too much.
I’m always searching for recipes that are cheap, quick, and delicious and this one fills the bill in every category. I do agree with another reviewer who said he grilled these burgers for 3 minutes per side instead of the suggested 5 minutes. It hits at the right degree of medium rare for just about anyone’s taste buds. I do find it a bit cavalier, not to mention actually careless, to list in a recipe herbs suggesting a 4-inch sprig or however many and assume that everyone is going to have the same fullness of herb, etc. But if you are going to list it as it is listed here. I suggest providing an equivalent gauge, e.g. 1T fresh chopped herb = 1t dried herb, so those who may not have or use fresh herbs will know how to substitute what they do have without guessing too little or overwhelming with too much. And I certainly agree with the other reviewers who have commented about the herbs being the key to this recipe. Additionally, if you’re going to show the burger with cheese flowing over the lower bun, why not suggest what cheese will go well on this lamb burger? Thanks for providing instructions for a truly delicious sandwich!
These are good! I was impressed. The herbs really bring out the flavor of the lamb in a spectacular way, and yet the recipe is so simple. My boyfriend loved it, too. Highly recommend!
I enjoy lamb and this was excellent!
This was just ok. The grilling time is off. 10 minutes for a quarter pound burger made them dry. The seasonings were ok. Made as directed for all ingredients and method.
Maybe the lamb was inferior, but there was little lamb flavor.
Not sure if it was the meat, the flavors or BOTH. But they were delicious. Beef is in trouble
Followed the recipe to a tee and my wife and I loved it
These burgers were truly fantastic. The herb taste is the answer. I did not have garlic powder but I did have a garlic mayo so used that in my topping. Will make again. Sorry no photo …eaten too quickly.
The best lamb burgers ever. We like our lamb med. rare so I BBQ’d the 6oz burgers for 3 min per side. Juicy and perfect Served on toasted ciabatta rolls. YUM!!!!
Super easy and hubby loved it! I’ll make it again.
Very simple and very tasty. Followed it as written.
Never had this before and it was my first time eating lamb. This was super good and family loved it. Would definitely eat again!
Very good burger
Was the best burger l have ever tasted can’t wait until l make it again ..didn’t change a thing
These came out great! The herbs complement the lamb, with no overwhelming flavor. I’ve tried other lamb recipes with the cumin/cinnamon flavors which are good, but I liked the simplicity of this. I halved the recipe and baked on parchment paper in a 325F oven for 40 min. The patties do shrink. I did not make this into a sandwich. just had it with mint jelly, which I usually do, and also made a tzatziki sauce from this site. Will make again! Thanks for the recipe.
Simple easy and burgers were full of flavor. My son will be adding some cheese to the last one, and will be making his own. The simplest Easter meal I have ever made. Will definitely make again.
this was totally awesome I made it pretty much as called for and everyone loved it.
Delicious! I didn’t make the mayo/mustard sauce. Burgers were great on their own.
These are fabulous. Served without a bun but with a Greek Salad. Fresh Rosemary, Thyme and Mint amp up the taste.
