Juicy Lamb Burgers - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb ground lamb
1 medium shallot, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic, minced
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/8 teaspoon allspice
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
4 hamburger buns
lettuce leaf (for garnish)
sliced tomatoes (for garnish)
sliced roasted red pepper (for garnish)

Preparation

Combine lamb, shallot, garlic, salt, cumin, allspice, cayenne, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly to combine the seasonings and the meat.
Form the meat mix into 4 patties about 1/2 inch thick. Cover the patties with plastic wrap, and chill for at least two hours. This will allow the spices to completely season the meat.
Prepare a grill to medium high heat. Brush both sides of the burgers with the oil, to keep them from sticking to the grill.
Grill the patties for about 4 minutes on each side for medium doneness (or adjust to your preferred temp). Remove from heat, and cover to keep warm while you toast the buns.
Place the buns, cut side down, on the grill for 1 to 2 minutes to toast.
Place the burgers on the toasted buns, and garnish as desired. serve immediately.
