Pistachio Lamb Burger with Tzatziki

The taste of lamb and tzatziki brings me back to my college days when I studied in Athens for a bit. These burgers are super flavorful and always a hit, even with burger traditionalists!

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup pistachios, shelled
  • 1 pound ground lamb
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full fat)
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced
  • 1/2 small seedless cucumber, peeled and coarsely grated
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

  • Finely grind pistachios in food processor. In a bowl, combine ground pistachios with lamb and spices, mixing with your hands just until combined. Divide mixture into four portions and gently pat into a burger shape. Cook on a hot grill about 4 minutes per side. Serve on grilled buns with tzatziki sauce.
