Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Ground lamb
- 1 medium Red onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tbsp Fresh mint, chopped
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Ground coriander
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 200 g Greek yoghurt
- 1 small Cucumber, grated
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Dill, chopped
- 0.5 tsp Salt (for dressing)
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper (for dressing)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground lamb, red onion, garlic, parsley, mint, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Form the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties and set them aside on a plate.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add olive oil.
Cook the lamb patties for 4-5 minutes per side or until they are cooked through and have a nice golden crust. Remove from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes.
While the patties are cooking, prepare the yoghurt and cucumber dressing. Place the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out excess moisture.
In a bowl, combine Greek yoghurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, chopped dill, salt, and pepper. Mix well and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Serve the lamb patties warm with the yoghurt and cucumber dressing on the side. Garnish with extra parsley or mint if desired.
