These Moroccan-spiced lamb burgers offer a sophisticated twist on a classic barbecue favourite, blending aromatic spices with succulent minced lamb. The standout feature is the vibrant beetroot, red onion, and orange salsa, which provides a sweet and earthy contrast to the rich, savoury meat. It is a colourful, high-protein dish that feels much lighter than a traditional cheeseburger, making it perfect for an alfresco dinner.
This recipe is an excellent choice for those seeking a nutritious, protein-packed meal that does not compromise on zest or flair. For the best results, use lean lamb mince and fresh citrus to make the salsa sing. Whether you are hosting a summer garden party or looking for an elevated midweek dinner, these burgers bring a touch of North African sunshine to your plate.
