Curry Lamb Burgers

"Springing ahead" sounds a lot more exciting and energetic than how I felt when we actually turned our clocks ahead this weekend. It probably didn't help any that Saturday night was a late night and Sunday came around before I even got home.

Anyone who knows me knows I never have been (and never will be) a morning person. I like mornings, but I am a bear to wake up. Now that it's dark in the morning, forget about it.

So Sunday "morning" when I finally got up and moving (for the second time), I decided to take advantage of the fact that I was lucky enough to come across ground lamb at the store the day before. Around here, it's a hit or miss thing, and I like to buy it when it's a hit. It's been too long since I had a good lamb burger, and it seemed like the appropriate brunch food (that you eat way past breakfast or lunch).


Ground lamb seasoned with 2 cloves of garlic, 2 tsp coriander,
1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1 1/4 tsp curry - mixed in 1 egg and 1 T breadcrumbs

The pack was slightly more than 1 lb - which became 4 patties

The tzatziki sauce was made from sour cream, cucumber, dill and lemon juice
 - sliced tomato - feta cheese - 

The final burger garnished with slices of cucumber, tomato, lettuce,
onion, feta and tzatziki - side of tots

There is never a bad time for tots. Brunch is as good (or better) than any. I'm pretty sure the tzatziki was also supposed to have garlic and something else, but I couldn't remember what it was. This version turned out pretty good, and I'd more than definitely make it again.
