Lamb Burgers with Tabbouleh and Grilled Peppers - Fire up the grill for our healthier lamb burger recipe that's packed with bright Mediterranean flavors ,and topped with homemade Tabbouleh and a spicy Jalapeno Mint Yogurt Sauce.
Start with the tabbouleh: Pour the bulgar wheat in a medium bowl. Pour 1 cup boiling water over the top. Stir and allow it to sit for at least 1 hour to soften. Meanwhile, chop all the veggies for the tabbouleh and slice the bell peppers into rounds.
Next make the Jalapeno Mint Yogurt Sauce: Place the yogurt, jalapeno, and mint in the blender. Puree until smooth, then salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Preheat the grill to medium heat. Place the ground lamb in a large bowl and add the sea salt and spices. Mix by hand to incorporate the spices. Then divide into six equal portions and press into patties. Form the patties just a little larger than the width of the hamburger buns, because they will shrink when cooking.
Mix the herbs and veggies for the tabbouleh into the bulgur wheat. Toss with lemon juice and olive, then salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
Once the grill is hot and the other components are ready, place the ground lamb patties and the bell pepper rings on the grill. Grill the lamb burgers for 3-4 minutes per side. Grill the bell peppers for 2 minutes per side.
Notes
To serve: Spread the bottom of the bun with Jalapeno Mint Yogurt sauce. Top with a few slices of grilled bell pepper, followed by a hot lamb patty. Then spoon fresh tabbouleh over the lamb burger and cover with the bun top. Serve immediately.
