  • 1 tablespoon dried Marjoram
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • ½ tablespoon Salt
  • ½ tablespoon Pepper
  • Burger bun
  • Lettuce

Instruction

  • Stir ingredients together and allow to sit for a least an hour for flavors to meld (even better overnight)
  • Mix ingredients thoroughly but gently. Form in to 6 oz patties. Season outside of burger with salt and pepper. Grill to medium rare.
  • Lightly toast a bun with tallow or butter (or rendered lamb fat), place some tzatziki on the bottom bun, then the lamb burger, top with a little more tzatziki and garnish with match sticks of cucumber if you’re feeling fancy. Dress the top bun with good crunchy lettuce and red onion.
