Cycling House Lamb Burger Recipe

The Cycling House Lamb Burgers

Naturally, lamb is a very lean meat. Therefore, you must add moisture to keep it from drying out during the grilling process. When you grill any meat, it will dehydrate and become tough. To retain moisture, and add delicious flavor to our lamb burgers, we add onions and olive oil.

  • 7 garlic cloves
  • 1 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
  • 3/4 cup fresh parsley
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp course ground pepper

  • 1/3 cup olive oil

Use a food processor or vita mix add garlic and chop. Once chopped add the next 4 ingredients until pulsed. Add the final ingredients. Gradually add oil in order to emulsify it. The process of emulsification allows the oil to be fully incorporated into the dressing. If not added slowly, the oil will separate from the final dressing. This process will also allow you to control the thickness of your dressing.
