Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground lamb, almond flour, egg, minced garlic, chopped mint leaves, chopped parsley, ground cumin, crumbled feta cheese, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients using your hands or a wooden spoon until well combined but do not overwork the mixture.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape into patties about 1.5 cm thick.
Heat a non-stick grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. You can also use an outdoor grill if preferred.
Once hot, place the lamb patties in the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 71°C (160°F) for medium well done.
Remove from heat and let the patties rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve each lamb patty wrapped in a butter lettuce leaf with slices of tomato and red onion. Add more toppings as desired, like avocado or aioli.
Enjoy your meal with additional sides if desired, staying within the keto guidelines.
