Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground lamb
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp Fresh mint, chopped
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 0.75 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 Burger buns
- 0.5 cup Tzatziki sauce (optional, for topping)
- 4 Tomato slices (optional, for topping)
- 4 Lettuce leaves (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground lamb, feta cheese, red onion, garlic, parsley, mint, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Gently mix the ingredients with your hands until just combined—avoid overmixing to prevent tough burgers.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, place the burger patties into the pan or grill. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on a separate pan or grill for 1-2 minutes, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing the cooked lamb patties onto the bottom buns. Add optional toppings like tzatziki sauce, tomato slices, and lettuce leaves. Cover with the top buns.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Lamb Feta Burgers!
