Ingredients

For the Tagine Burger
1 pound ground lamb
1 small red onion (grated & excess liquid drained off)
1 large clove garlic (crushed)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
3-4 Bakery-fresh Hamburger Buns
1 red onion, sliced in rings
For the Fig Topping
1/2 cup fig jam
1 pinch saffron
1/2 teaspoon orange blossom water

Directions

1

For the Fig Topping: Warm fig jam with a pinch of crushed saffron until simmering and the fragrance of the saffron releases. Remove from heat and stir in the orange blossom water. Cool to thicken.
2

Combine the ground lamb with the grated and drained red onion, crushed garlic, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground pepper, and salt.
3

Shape into patties (3 thick ones, or 4 quarter-pounders) and cook on a well-oiled grill over medium heat until done (flipping once). Generally this takes 3-6 minutes per side, depending on the burger's thickness.
4

Serve on a toasted bun with grilled red onion rings and heaps of fig topping (see below).
