Moroccan Style Lamb Burgers
"I love these. In Morocco, the people serve these burgers with ground cumin, salt, pepper and their special "harissa" sauce on the side, in a little condiment container. The spices give the burger an added flavour."

Everyone in my family loved these and I was sorry I didn't make a double batch! I'll be careful next time to make the patties thinner, though-- these took a while to cook through. -
Lovely blend of spices and flavors. Our lamb has some fat so I did not find them dry. and served them as a regular hamburger on a bun. Vidalia Onions have just arrived so I had to have a slice on the burger & mushrooms - Served with a side salad & oven fries Thanks Rainna for a lovely Saturday night burger -
These were pretty good, but a little drier than we are used to as our lamb was virtually fat free. I served them with harissa, and yoghurt mixed with cumin, salt, pepper and chopped coriander.

I love trying different kinds of food, playing with flavours. I inherited it from my dad. We used to spend every Sunday, cooking something new. It was like a special day for us to spend time together.
Apart from cooking, I also love travelling. My favourite places are Jamaica, and Morocco. Nothing like sitting by the side of the road somewhere, eating Jerk Chicken or a Moroccan Sandwich!
