I’m going to be upfront here. I WISH I could take credit for crafting this beautiful recipe, but this busy Mom has needed some serious help lately. My dinner help comes in the form of PeaPod Meal Kits and they are honestly amazing.
You can see the incredible selection of meals here. I’ve tried a few different ones so far (including this buffalo chicken quinoa skillet) and they’ve all been awesome. They come with all the ingredients measured, mostly prepped and will help you have dinner ready super quick. It’s basically a matter of combining and heating which is really helpful when you just don’t have much time in your day!
Each meal kit comes with an easy to follow recipe card with photos so even if you’re not a kitchen whiz, it’s basically fool proof.
What I also love about the meal kits is it forces you to cook outside of your comfort zone. Believe it or not, I have never cooked with lamb before! It was delicious and I never would have tried it had it not been for this kit.
Take my advice and order the meal kit to save your self the time and get all the ingredients sent right to your door.
Add broth, basil, parsley, pine nuts, parmesan cheese and lemon zest in a blender. Cover and blend until the mixture is smooth; set aside.
Combine the farro and remaining broth in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Cover and cook until the farro is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Remove the farro to a large bowl and let cool.
Mix the lamb, half the garlic, feta and cumin in a large bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Shape the lamb mixture into burgers.
Insider Tip! To help keep the burgers from shrinking during cooking, use your thumb to make an indentation in the center of each burger.
Heat the oil. Add the burgers to the skillet. Cook and flip.
Stir the yogurt, cucumber, mint, lemon juice and remaining garlic in a medium bowl. Season to taste.
Add the zucchini, corn, onion, blended broth mixture, lemon juice and salt to the cooled farro.
Toss to coat.
Divide the burgers among the buns and layer with the yogurt mixture, tomato, onion and arugula.
Doesn’t this sound incredibly delicious?
