Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground lamb
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 whole Red onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 whole Egg
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 whole Burger buns
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 1 whole Tomato, sliced
- 0.25 whole Cucumber, sliced

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, chopped mint leaves, minced garlic, finely chopped red onion, ground cumin, ground coriander, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and black pepper.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly using your hands or a spoon until they are well combined.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a round, flat patty about 1.5 cm thick.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, cook the lamb patties for 5-7 minutes on each side or until they are cooked through and have a golden-brown crust.
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on a dry skillet or under a broiler for a minute or two until they are warm and slightly crisp.
To assemble the burgers, spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise (and mustard if using) on the bottom half of each burger bun.
Place a cooked lamb patty on top of the mayonnaise, followed by a lettuce leaf, a slice or two of tomato, and some cucumber slices.
Top with the other half of the burger bun to create a sandwich, and serve immediately.
Enjoy your flavorful Lamb and Mint Patties Burgers with your favorite side dishes, like fries or a fresh salad!
