Ingredients
- 1-lb. ground lamb
- 1 large shallot, finely diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 jar Maya Kaimal Madras curry
- 8 stems of Andy Boy broccoli rabe
- 2 Tbsp avocado oil
- Salt and pepper
- 1 head Andy Boy romaine lettuce
- 6-oz. plain Greek yogurt
- 2 Andy Boy cactus pears
- 2 large heirloom tomatoes, thinly sliced
- 2 radishes, sliced on a mandolin
- 2 Persian cucumbers, diced
- 4 pitas
- 1 bunch cilantro
Directions
1. Preheat to 400F.
2. In a large bowl, mix your lamb, shallot, garlic, and ½ cup of the curry. Set aside at room temperature for 30 minutes.
3. Cut your cactus pears in half lengthwise. Scoop out the inside into a blender or food processor. Pulse until juices are released. Strain the contents into a bowl to remove the seeds. Mix in the yogurt and 3 Tbsp chopped cilantro leaves. Set aside.
4. Add your broccoli rabe to a baking sheet. Lightly drizzle with avocado oil, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 10 minutes. Set aside.
5. Split your lamb mixture into 4 parts. Form your patties in an oval such that they are the length of your pita breads.
6. Heat your cast iron over medium heat. Cook your patties 4 minutes on the first side, and an additional 2 minutes on the second side.
7. To assemble your burgers, gently heat your pita breads over an open flame, in a toaster, or in the cooling oven.
8. Spread a layer of the cactus pear yogurt on your pita, top with a piece of lettuce, slices of tomato, 2 stems of broccoli rabe, a burger patty, a few tablespoons of the Madras curry, cucumbers, radish slices, and cilantro. Wrap in parchment paper for less-messy eating!
