Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground lamb
- 30 grams Fine breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 small Onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Whole-grain burger buns
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato, sliced

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground lamb, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, finely chopped onion, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper.
Using your hands, mix the ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape each into a patty about 1-inch thick.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the lamb patties in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for medium doneness.
Toast the whole-grain burger buns lightly in a toaster or on a grill.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cooked lamb patty.
Top each patty with feta cheese, tomato slices, and red onion slices.
Place the top half of the bun over the assembled ingredients and serve the burgers warm.
