Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground lamb or beef
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tbsp Fresh mint, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Ground coriander
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 Burger buns
- 0.5 cup Tzatziki sauce
- 1 Tomatoes, sliced
- 0.5 Cucumber, sliced
- 4 Lettuce leaves
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb or beef, crumbled feta cheese, red onion, parsley, mint, garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until evenly incorporated.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties about 1-inch thick.
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and lightly oil the surface with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired level of doneness.
While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a separate pan until golden brown.
Assemble the burgers by spreading a layer of tzatziki sauce on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a lettuce leaf, a cooked patty, sliced tomato, sliced cucumber, and the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes such as crispy fries or a Mediterranean salad.
