Additional Notes
I am a burger fiend. As such, there are few things I haven’t tried making a burger out of. My all time favorite, however, are lamb burgers. And when going lamb, the one thing I can’t resist are the flavors of Greece and Northern Africa. Apart from the distinct taste of the lamb, these burgers are all about the spices. The allspice in particular has become a signature here, just enough to be noticeable but subtle enough to keep compelling bite after bite.
