Greek Pocket Bread Sandwiches with Lamb
It’s tempting to fall back on tried-and-true quickies ― like broiled hamburgers ― when time is tight.
But ground beef isn’t your only quick-burger alternative. Ground lamb cooks as quickly as beef, and it has its own unique character that teams well with a different spectrum of seasonings, including a refreshing touch of mint in the Greek fashion.
Ground lean lamb is available in most supermarkets. Its fat content varies, but it’s usually similar to that of ground beef chuck. If the ground lamb is already shaped into patties, just break them up, season, and re-form.
Like any ground meat, ground lamb has a short storage life. So for freshest flavor, cook within 24 hours of purchase. Or, for future quick meals, season, shape, and freeze up to three months.
For moist, juicy results, broil lamb just until it is barely pink in the center. Otherwise the meat will be dry.
