These Moroccan lamb burgers with a mint feta dressing bring bold flavours to your table with a delicious blend of spices. Perfect for a casual BBQ or an easy weeknight meal, they’re packed with flavour and can be customised to suit your dietary needs. You can also use this mince mix to make little meatballs to include in the school lunch.
Us Aussies love a burger on a BBQ. So I thought I’d share a recipe that’s easy enough for the kids to get involved and make, and one the whole family will love ahead of this long weekend.
Health benefits
Lamb is a great source of protein, iron, and healthy fats, while the spices provide anti-inflammatory benefits. The fresh mint and yogurt in the dressing add a light, tangy contrast, and you can easily make this recipe dairy-free if needed, keeping it healthy without compromising on taste.
Ingredients
This recipe is loaded with aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, and smoked paprika, along with zesty lemon to brighten the flavours. The mint feta dressing offers a refreshing twist, and there are easy swaps if you’re avoiding dairy.
How to make Moroccan Lamb Burgers
Mix the lamb mince with garlic, spices, and lemon zest to form patties, then cook them on the BBQ or in a pan. Blend together feta, yogurt, and mint for the dressing, adding harissa for extra heat if desired. Serve the burgers on buns or lettuce cups with a generous dollop of mint feta dressing.
Serving suggestions and how to store
Serve these Moroccan lamb burgers in a sourdough bun with salad or go grain-free by using lettuce cups or grilled mushrooms instead. Store leftover patties and dressing separately in airtight containers in the fridge, or freeze the patties for a quick future meal.
Vary Moroccan Lamb Burgers to suit
For a dairy-free option, substitute the feta and yogurt with mayonnaise. You can also skip the garlic and replace it with a pinch of chilli flakes if you prefer. This recipe is easy to adjust, so it fits a variety of dietary preferences without losing its vibrant flavours.
Take a look at the variations (below the main recipe) for suggestions to alter the recipe to suit your specific dietary requirements.
