Ginger Lamb Burgers
7 people added this to their Recipe Box
Lamb is especially good with flavourful additions, as in this Chinese-inspired recipe. Fresh ground lamb is often available; frozen ground lamb from New Zealand is also convenient. Serve the burgers on buns with lettuce, tomato and hot mustard, or make them a meal with rice or potatoes and a salad or side vegetable.
