We combine ground lamb with lean ground sirloin for a less fatty patty; you can also use all sirloin. Try our grilled asparagus spears in place of fries: They get deliciously charred in the pan.

Not bad, but not that great either. I found the burgers to be a bit dry, probably due to the addition of the 90% lean meat. The cumin and garlic were also completely lost. The spread was so thick that it exacerbated the dryness of the burger. It's not like I didn't finish it or tossed the leftovers, but I won't make it again. Cooking Light's Greek Feta Burgers are not only a far better take on these flavors but are actually one of my all-time favorite burger recipes, bar none.

This is about as good as a lamb burger can get. Flavorful and easy, and doesn't need anything else in the way of condiments. Definitely will be making again!
