1
Rinse the quinoa in a large fine mesh strainer with cold water, then transfer to a small saucepan.
2
Cover with 2 cups cold water, bring to a boil, and then reduce to a low simmer and cook for 15 to 20 minutes.
3
Remove from the heat, fluff with a fork and let cool before mixing into the lamb.
4
Mix together the quinoa, lamb, cumin, cayenne, garlic, egg, onions and some salt in a large bowl until the mixture comes together and is smooth.
5
Form the mixture into 4 balls, flatten down into patties and place on baking sheets.
6
Heat a large nonstick saute pan over high heat for 1 minute, and then add the oil.
7
Cook the patties until browned, 3 minutes per side, and then cover and cook over low heat for 10 to 12 minutes.
8
Mix together the yogurt and mint in a separate bowl and season with salt.
9
To plate the dish, place the lamb burger over your favorite salad or I recommend a fresh tomato puree.
10
Top each with a dollop of the mint yogurt and serve.
