These burgers turned out really good. My husband makes his own version that is very similar to this recipe (using a little of this and that)...and I wanted to replicate it. Suprisingly enough this came very close to his. I used dry herbs and threw in some cilantro and green onions. I used a bit more salt than what the recipe called for and used ground pork rather than lamb. I've never cooked with lamb before...simply because I never see it at our grocery store. I was given several compliments and plan on making this again. Thanks for sharing Alan.

Mighty tasty burgers! I substituted dark corn syrup for the molasses, and white wine for the sherry. Very good - and the burgers held together well on the grill. Just let them cook well before turning over.

Fabulous flavor. I wouldn't change a thing to the recipe for the burgers. Even when cooked all the way through the meat was so tender and juicy. The only thing I did differently was I made some homemade tzaziki yogurt sauce and added a spoonful or two of that to the burger and feta in the grilled pita pocket. This will be a new favorite for the grill! Thanks Alan.

EXCELLENT... I took this recipe and made small meatballs and baked in the oven... then served them with toothpicks and tzatziki as an appetizer... everyone wanted the recipe! YUM

Yummy Yummy Yummy!! I raise sheep so always have lots of lamb on hand and I am always looking for good lamb recipes. This one is great. I didn't have any fresh mint so used 3 mint tea bags (make sure it has no additives) also I had no sherry or wine so used angastura bitters. This lamb burger was so tasty and did hold together well. My family gave it 5 stars even the kids. Will serve this often this coming summer. Thanks for the great recipe.

These were fantastic - even with the variety of substitutions I had to make (7 mos pregnant and not keen on the idea of a special trip to the store). I substituted fresh thyme and rosemary for the cilantro and mint honey for the molasses a good squeeze of lemon juice as I was going for a Greek flavour. The mix was a bit dry so I added a beaten egg and a handful of breadcrumbs and they were delicious! Can't wait to try the original recipe. Thanks Alan.

Excellent! Based on the other reviews I doubled the recipe and I'm glad I did. I love grilled lamb and I'll make this one again. I didn't have sherry. I used some white wine instead. I happened to have pomegranate molasses so I used that instead. Goes great with salad and wine. If you like grilled lamb you'll love this recipe.

We love our food highly seasoned, and these were wonderful for our first meal from the 4-H market lamb that we had just picked up from the butcher! These will become a must-have in our home! Served with tzatziki sauce, they were stupendous!

I made these just as written. They were not to my liking. Way too much going on w/ these burgers. You can't even taste the lamb might as well be using ground turkey or pork;) TOO many spices in this that are overpowering and they are not spicy at all. No one liked them. Next time I want a lamb burger I'll just make a lamb burger: nothing needed but S & P.

These may be the most flavorful grilled burgers ever.
