Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef or lamb
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 3 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 Burger buns
- optional Toppings (lettuce, tomato slices, red onion, or tzatziki sauce)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped cilantro, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Use your hands to mix the ingredients thoroughly until all the spices and herbs are evenly distributed.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty approximately 1.5 cm (1/2 inch) thick.
Heat a grill pan or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil to the pan to prevent sticking.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked to your desired level of doneness (internal temperature should reach at least 71°C/160°F if using ground beef or 74°C/165°F if using ground lamb for food safety).
Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster if desired.
Assemble the hamburgers by placing the patties on the buns and adding your choice of toppings such as lettuce, tomato slices, red onion, or a dollop of tzatziki sauce.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Moroccan-inspired hamburgers!
