Juicy lamb and cumin burgers

January 27, 2011 by Katie Bryson 1 Comment

Rewarding grub

The way to my husband’s heart is burgers and books – he has an insatiable appetite for both. So when he kindly took the day off work to look after the boys when I was feeling decidedly full of cold, I decided to get the burger press out and reward him with a meat fest.

I’d picked up a recipe card on my last visit to Waitrose featuring a very juicy and tempting looking burger festooned with red onion marmalade… I knew this would come in handy at some point!

Stack up those burgers!

It’s the simplest burger recipe I’ve possibly ever made as it doesn’t feature breadcrumbs or egg to bind it together. It’s just lamb mince, finely chopped shallot, a crushed clove of garlic and a spoon of ground cumin. I was amazed how well the burgers formed, but I guess lamb is a fattier and therefore stickier meat than beef.

Rather than make four big fat burgers, being in an economical mood I used my burger press to make seven regular-sized patties. I cooked some and froze a couple for future emergency burger situations!

Glistening and sweet

The onion marmalade was equally easy to prepare – a red onion finely sliced and gently softened in a pan with olive oil for 15 minutes, then cooked for a further five minutes with some red wine vinegar and dark brown muscovado sugar.

It delivered a sweetness that really complimented the flavours of the lamb and cumin.

I served the burgers up in giant floury baps with salad on the side. Sam insisted on raw frozen peas being scattered on his salad – he and Arlo will happily munch on peas straight out of the freezer, a habit I find strange but endearing.

You can find the exact recipe for Lamb and Cumin burgers on the Waitrose website.

Beautiful little book the audience were all given Beautiful little book the audience were all given at last night’s performance of #Here from @curious.monkey_ at @northern_stage. Such a powerful performance from the talented cast bringing together individual stories of what it means to seek sanctuary in the North East, the friendships that are forged and the spark of hope that refuses to be snuffed out. With the plight of refugees so visible right now,  the timing of this performance was impeccable. #RefugeesWelcome #togetherwithrefugees🧡 #StoryCollectors
