Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground lamb
  • 1 small red onion
  • 3 Tbsp chopped mint
  • 8 boston butter lettuce leaves
  • 8 slices of cucumber
  • 1 tsp + ¼ tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp smoke paprika (omit to make AIP compliant)
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 cup tahini (omit to make AIP compliant)
  • up to ¾ cup filtered water (add a little at a time until desired consistency is reached)
  • up to 3 cloves garlic (depending on how much you like garlic)
  • ¼ cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • ¼ cup + 2 tsp chopped flat leaf parsley
Instructions
  1. Wash mint, chop and set aside.
  2. Remove lettuce leaves and wash. Set aside.
  3. Wash cucumber, slice thinly into long strips and set aside.
  4. Wash parsley, chop and set aside.
  5. Peel and chop ½ of the red onion. Slice the other half thinly and set aside.
  6. To make burgers combine ground lamb, sea salt, garlic powder, paprika, chopped onion and ¼ cup chopped parsley. Omit the paprika to make AIP compliant.) Mix well.
  7. Divide meat into 4 even sized patties.
  8. Cook patties on a grill for around 4-5 min per side or until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
  9. While burgers cook make the tahini lemon sauce. Peel garlic and place in a food processor with tahini, lemon juice and 2 tsp chopped flat leaf parsley. Add a bit of water and mix. Continue to add water until you get to your desired consistency. More water will make a thinner sauce and less water will make a thicker sauce.
  10. To plate place 1 lamb patty on 2 lettuce leaves and top with cucumber, sliced onion and sprinkle with chopped mint. Serve lemon tahini sauce on the side.
Notes
Use organic, consciously sourced meat whenever possible! To make Autoimmune Protocol compliant omit the smoked paprika and lemon tahini sauce.
