Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 0.25 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup cucumber, grated
- 0.25 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon salt (for dressing)
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 sliced tomatoes
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until the ingredients are evenly incorporated, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty approximately 1/2-inch thick.
Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil to the skillet if using, and cook the lamb patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (internal temperature of 160°F for well done). Remove the patties from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes.
While the burgers cook, prepare the cucumber feta dressing. In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, crumbled feta cheese, lemon juice, chopped fresh dill, and salt until creamy and well combined. Set aside.
Toast the hamburger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a lamb patty, a generous dollop of cucumber feta dressing, and a slice of tomato. Place the top half of the bun on top.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Lamb Burgers with Cucumber Feta Dressing!
