Trying to post a new recipe every week from now on. Last week was Tilapia with garlic butter sauce for reducing inflammation. This week I've cooked something high in anti-oxidant herbs and spices, notably Oregano which displays, on a gram for gram basis, four times as much anti-oxidant activity than even Blueberries - impressive when you consider Blueberries are no slouch at mopping up free radicals! Here we go: Spicy anti-oxidant lamb burgers
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh oregano
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 ounces feta cheese, finely crumbled Preparation: Put the meat in a large bowl, and pour in all the seasoning. Use a fork to mix it all well. When thoroughly mixed, should make 8-10 small patties. Grill the patties till cooked through. Enjoy in mini-pitta bread, with a strong stone-ground mustard, if you like.
