Ingredient List
Burgers
- 1 lb ground lamb
- 1/3 cup Mountain High™ original plain yoghurt
- 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon ras el hanout (Moroccan seasoning blend)
- 1 teaspoon salt

- 4 sandwich buns
Toppings
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 plum (Roma) tomato, sliced
- 1 cup baby arugula
- Spicy harissa, if desired
- Additional yoghurt, if desired
Preparation
- In medium bowl, mix all Burger ingredients except oil until blended. Shape into 4 patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
- In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add patties to skillet; cook without moving 4 to 7 minutes or until first side is browned and patties release easily from skillet. Turn; cook 4 to 7 minutes longer on second side or until patties are no longer pink in center (165°F).
- Place patties on buns; top with feta cheese, tomato and arugula. Serve with harissa and additional yoghurt.
Tips
- Ground beef works great as a substitute for the ground lamb in this recipe.
- Ras el hanout is a North African seasoning blend that includes warming spices like cinnamon, nutmeg and clove alongside stimulating ginger, pepper and chili. This flavorful seasoning is often called “Moroccan spice blend” and can be found in most grocery stores.
- Harissa is a North African pepper sauce that includes garlic, oil and spices. If you aren’t mad for spicy foods, look for mild versions.
