Ingredients:
¼ cup of sunflower seeds
¼ cup oats
1 Tsp. fresh oregano leaves, or ¼ tsp. dried
1 Tsp. fresh mint leaves, or ¼ tsp. dried
Grated zest from 1 lemon or lime
1 pound of ground lamb
1 Tbsp. tahini
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ Tsp. sea salt
½ Tsp. black pepper or cayenne
Dash of cumin, turmeric & ginger
Instructions:
- In the work bowl of a food processor, place the sunflower seeds, oats, oregano, mint, & lemon zest. Process until ground but not too mushy.
- Place the lamb in a large mixing bowl and add the sunflower seed mixture along with the tahini, garlic, salt, pepper & other spices. Use your hands to gently combine. Form the mixture into four large patties, or eight smaller ones and place on a plate.
- Heat a large cast-iron or other heavy-bottomed (not nonstick) skillet over medium heat. When the skillet is hot, add the burgers and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, then turn with a spatula. Cook for another 5-6 minutes.
My family enjoys them served with a salad or hummus.
