It’s burgertime again in AnotherFoodBloggers home and this is definitely one of my favs! Combining that kick ass red pepper sriracha harissa recipe of mine, some top quality meat, crisp lettuce, sweet grilled onions & let’s not forget about my trusted Weber and well, you are on to a good thing!
The inspiration for this dish came with combining these lamb/pork meatballs I make for canapes I did for a catering gig and my love affair for eating meat inside a brioche bun! I am fairly confident I see you glancing back at the picture above and saying that the day I created this was well – inspired!!
So if you are looking to add a different flair to your grillin’ game and impress your mates whilst chugging a few cold ones around your grill then ENOUGH SAID!!

3. Lightly toast burger buns, add harissa on base of bun, top with lettuce, burger patties, grilled onion & a little more harissa.
4. Spread goats curd into the top 1/2 of the burger bun or sprinkle feta (if using) on top of patty and top with the burger bun.
5. Take a breath and marvel in the joy that is the lamb burger!

Tips/Tricks
*shop bought harissa will also work but TRUST me once you make my homemade version you won’t ever bought shop bought again*
**cooking the burgers for 2 & 1/2 mins each side will cook a perfect MR burger so if you want them cooked more then another 30 seconds – 1 min a side will do**
***the ratio is 3:1 lamb/pork mince so if you like your burgers a little bigger just follow that ratio when adding more mince***
This looks absolutely amazing! I saved it to Pinterest so I can make it later this week!
