The Quick Facts on Our Lamb Burgers

• 100% ground Canadian Lamb
• Naturally raised
• Free from added hormones 
• Layer packed and prepared by the box

There’s just something special about handmade burgers. When you order from The Butcher Shoppe, your box of burgers will arrive fresh (never frozen) using 100% Canadian Ground Lamb. 

Lamb burgers offer a rich, slightly gamey flavour that sets them apart from traditional beef burgers. Made from fresh ground lamb from the shoulder, which has a higher fat content, keeping the patties juicy and flavorful when cooked. Enhanced by a quick sear on high heat, and they pair well with Mediterranean-inspired toppings like tzatziki, feta, and mint. Whether grilled or pan-seared, lamb burgers are a unique and delicious choice for burger lovers looking to switch things up.

To reduce the amount of plastic waste and to make it easy to freeze, our handmade burgers are now layer packed and prepared by the box instead of individually vacuum packed. Simply take out what you’re planning to grill that day and toss the rest in the freezer. Once frozen, the convenient dividers make it easy to remove a layer to thaw for your next gathering.

Goes Great With...

A cold beer and close friends, preferably under the sun. 

But if you’re actually looking for other options, pairing lamb burgers with other meats can result in a culinary feast that delights the senses. Here are three meats that go exceptionally well with lamb burgers:

• Pulled Pork Butt: The tender, juicy strands of pulled pork offer a contrasting texture and a sweet, smoky flavor that can complement the robust taste of a beef burger. Topping your burger with pulled pork creates a dish rich in flavors and textures.
• Grilled Chicken Breast: For those who want a varied protein experience, a piece of grilled chicken breast can be an excellent side. It has a more lean profile and mild flavor that provides a lighter counterpoint to the richness of the beef burger.
• Spicy Italian Sausage: Sliced or crumbled on top, spicy Italian sausage can add a zesty kick to your beef burger. The spice and flavors from the sausage mix well with the beef, making for an exciting and flavorful combination.

Our Preferred Preparation for Lamb Burgers

The best way to enjoy lamb burgers is to let the bold, natural flavour shine. Keep the seasoning simple with salt, pepper, and a touch of garlic. We recommend topping your patty with creamy feta cheese and a dollop of tzatziki, then serving it on a toasted brioche or ciabatta bun with fresh arugula for a perfect balance of richness and freshness.

If you want to take it up a notch, try adding caramelized onions and a drizzle of harissa mayo for a subtle kick. The smoky heat pairs beautifully with the juicy, tender lamb, creating a burger that’s packed with Mediterranean-inspired flavour.
