Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground lamb
- 0.5 medium, finely chopped red onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon, finely chopped fresh mint
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb with finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, parsley, mint, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest.
Mix all the ingredients together using your hands or a spatula until thoroughly combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the patties tough.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1-inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the lamb patties to the skillet.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through to your desired level of doneness.
Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the juicy lamb patties with a side of your choice, such as a fresh salad, grilled vegetables, or whole-grain flatbread for a complete Mediterranean-inspired meal.
