Stuffed Lamb Burgers: Absolutely Delish!

Stuffed Lamb Burgers
© 2008 Kevin D Weeks

These stuffed lamb burgers are a variation on a stuffed leg of lamb recipe I developed some years back. The stuffed leg of lamb is elegant but much more difficult to make. The burgers , on the other hand, are easy to make and almost as good. Both recipes combine lamb with fresh mint (a traditional herb for lamb) and blue cheese. They're incredibly juicy because of the cheese, so I serve them in pita halves to avoid losing a single drop of goodness. Note: My mother makes these and freezes two to thaw and cook later. Makes 4 burgers. Recipe here...
