Kebab Burger

Does a kebab burger need a description? I think not.

I find it exceedingly difficult to write a description for something as amazing as this kebab burger. It’s lamb, a kebab, and a burger all in one. What more needs to be said? It’s a mic drop moment.

Eat it, love it, and never share it. It’s incredibly easy to make and even marinated the meat will last in the fridge for a couple days. As summer rolls around, I love making these, partially because they’re not your standard boring hamburger, but also because they’re just so flavorful. They’ve got a bit of a kick from the various masalas, and you can customize the burger any way you want. So it’s still perfect for a bbq or picnic.

I honestly just want to keep typing “eaaaat me!!” because the burger is just soooo yummy!

I prefer a brioche bun because it’s a bit more bready and chewy, so it reminds me of Indian breads. I’ve used a mint yogurt in my burger but there’s no reason you couldn’t switch up the condiments. For example, you could do mint chutney, tamarind chutney, or even a mango chutney. To bring down the heat on the burger I love pairing it with a mint lemonade or limeade. No matter what you do, you’ll love it and perhaps replace one serving of sex for this burger.
