Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1.5 lbs ground lamb (or ground meat of choice, i.e. turkey, beef, pork)
  • 2 small zucchinis (roughly chopped)
  • 1 med sweet (yellow-brown plantain, peeled and roughly chopped)
  • salt (to taste (optional))
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • Coconut oil for sauteeing
  • Avocado for garnish
  • Greens to serve over

Instruction

  • In a skillet over med heat, melt the coconut oil and add the chopped zucchini and plantain, and salt to taste if desired. Stir to coat and let cook over med heat until browned and soft, stirring often.
  • Combine the salt and spices in a small bowl, and mix into the ground meat. Form 8 small and thin patties with the meat (2 patties will = 1 burger after the filling is added)
  • When the plantains and zucchini are browned, spoon some onto 4 of the small patties. Take another small patty to top each one, and seal the meat together on all sides.
  • Now it's time to cook the burgers. Heat large nonstick pan or grill (lightly greased) over med-hi heat. Once heated, add the burgers to the pan and cook for about 6 minutes on each side, covering for the last few minutes or so to fully cook through.
  • Once the burgers have cooked through, serve over your favorite greens and garnish with a few slices of avocado. Any leftover filling can be served as a topping or on the side.
  • Dig in with a fork and knife! If you did this right it's going to get messy!
