Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground lamb
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh mint
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Feta cheese (optional)
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Burger buns or flatbread
- 0.5 cup Tzatziki sauce (optional)
- 4 slices Tomato slices (optional, for garnish)
- 4 slices Red onion slices (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped mint, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, black pepper, and feta cheese (if using). Mix gently but thoroughly to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Divide the lamb mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to help it cook evenly.
Heat a grill, grill pan, or large skillet over medium-high heat. Brush the surface lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Cook the lamburgers for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are browned on the outside and cooked to your desired doneness (an internal temperature of 160°F is recommended for medium doneness).
While the lamburgers cook, lightly toast the burger buns or warm the flatbread on the grill or in a toaster oven.
Assemble your lamburgers: place a cooked patty on the bottom half of the bun or flatbread, then top with optional garnishes like tomato slices, red onion, lettuce, and a dollop of tzatziki sauce. Cover with the top bun or fold the flatbread over the filling.
Serve immediately and enjoy your savory lamburgers with a side of fries, salad, or roasted vegetables!
