Recipe Rewind: Indian Spice Burgers

Originally posted May 2011. Also works well with ground chicken or turkey. For a paleo-friendly version omit the naan and substitute mashed avocado or paleo mayonnaise.

Adapted from Everyday Food: Great Food Fast, Martha Stewart Living, serves four

Ingredients

1/2 cup plain low fat yogurt
1/2 teaspoon cumin
Salt
Pepper

1 lb ground beef
4 green onions, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons ginger, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 egg
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon coriander
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Salt
Pepper

4 whole wheat naan
1 large cucumber, sliced
1 large tomato, sliced
Radishes, sliced
Lettuce
Cilantro

Directions

To prepare the cumin yogurt sauce, combine yogurt, cumin, salt and pepper in a small bowl.

For the burgers, preheat the grill or barbecue to medium high. Combine the ground beef, green onion, ginger, garlic, egg and seasonings in a bowl. Mix well and form into patties - hands work best!

Grill the patties for 3 minutes per side or until cooked through. Toast the naan on the grill if desired.

Serve the patties on the naan bread topped with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, radish, cilantro and cumin yogurt sauce.

Yum!
