Lamb & leek burgers with lemon “cream” recipe

Most people reach for beef when it comes to burgers, but there are plenty of reasons to swap that for some ground lamb instead. It has a more robust flavor than beef that really works well with burgers or grilled recipes. Here I paired the lamb with another springtime ingredient: leeks. The natural sweetness of slightly caramelized leeks makes a nice, simple twist on the classic beef burger. Ground lamb is the cheapest way to get the nutritional benefits of grass-fed lamb, which include being a fabulous source of protein, having plenty of good-for-us omega-3 fatty acids and being a great source of conjugated linoleum acid (CLA), which is another significant anti-inflammatory fatty acid. So … go, team lamb!
