This lamb burger explodes with flavor: aromatic herbs, tangy lemon mayo, sweet grilled onion. We love lamb's earthy flavor, but if you aren't sure your family or friends will agree, use a 50-50 blend of beef and lamb. Or seek out American-raised lamb, which is more mild than meat imported from New Zealand.

  • Brush onions with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Grill burgers and onions on the rack of a covered grill directly over medium heat for 10 minutes or until internal temperature is 150° (medium), turning once halfway through grilling time.
