Step 1: Prepare the Mint Pesto - Add the kale leaves, mint leaves, walnuts, garlic, and salt into a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped.
Step 2: Add the Walnut Oil - With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the walnut oil until the pesto reaches a smooth consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 3: Form the Lamb Patties - In a mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb with a pinch of salt and any desired spices. Form the mixture into three equal patties, ensuring they are slightly larger than your hamburger buns as they will shrink while cooking.
Step 4: Cook the Lamb Patties - Heat the grapeseed or olive oil in a grill or stovetop pan over medium-high heat. Add the lamb patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until they reach your desired doneness. In the last minute of cooking, add a slice of jack cheese on top of each patty and cover to allow it to melt.
Step 5: Assemble the Burgers - Lightly toast the hamburger buns if desired. Spread a generous amount of mint pesto on the bottom bun, place the cooked lamb patty on top, and finish with a handful of spinach or spring greens. Cap with the top bun.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy! - Serve your lamb burgers immediately, perhaps with a side of sweet potato fries or a fresh salad. Enjoy the explosion of flavors in each bite!
