Lamb Rib Burgers with Feta Tzatziki

bgebrent

Had some Denver lamb ribs in the freezer.  I’ve not had great success smoking them yet. I believe @smokingal may have suggested this idea of grinding the rib meat for burgers.  So I trimmed the fat off two racks of ribs fairly aggressively, removed the membrane and took the meat off the bones.  I did a double grind, coarse to medium.  
I seasoned the meat with sautéed red onion with garlic and chili flakes, fresh parsley, mint, rosemary & thyme, and made patties.
I made a Feta  tzatziki for sauce.






Nichole made a Tabbouleh with quinoa to accompany the burgers.




Grilled the burgers on the MM along with the tomato. Finished with red onions and sliced peperoncini.  They were messy but delicious.  The tabbouleh was super refreshing with the lemon vinaigrette N made.




Cheers.

Breaking down lamb ribs for burgers is a tedious process, but boy does it make for some tasty burgers.  Very nice work!

Another something different to try.  Looks delicious.  Do you cook these to about 155-160 F?

I pulled these at 150.  I liked the texture.  They had a pretty high fat content so you could go a little higher with impunity if preferred.  Thanks.
