Armenian-style hamburgers are a variation on traditional beef burgers that use a blend of lamb and beef for a combination of flavors and textures. The addition of chopped onion, parsley, and green pepper adds additional flavor, while the tomato juice creates a rich, tangy sauce. These burgers are great for a quick and easy lunch or dinner that will satisfy your cravings for something savory and satisfying. Serve with a side salad or roasted vegetables for a well-balanced meal.

Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, combine the lamb, beef, chopped onion, parsley, green pepper, salt, and pepper.
2.	Mix until well combined.
3.	Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties.
4.	Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
5.	Add the patties to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked.
6.	Pour the tomato juice into the skillet and stir, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
7.	Simmer the patties in the tomato juice for 3-4 minutes, until heated through and the sauce has thickened.
8.	Serve hot with your favorite toppings and sides.

PROS

These hamburgers are packed with flavor from the lamb and a delicious tomato sauce.

They are juicy and tender thanks to the lamb’s natural fat content.

They cook up quickly on the stove, making them a great weeknight meal.

CONS

Lamb isn’t always readily available at grocery stores, and it can be more expensive than beef.

This recipe may not be suitable for those who avoid red meat or are watching their fat intake.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Lamb is a rich source of protein and contains a good amount of healthy fats, such as conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which has been linked to improved heart health and weight management.
